RBR20

Updated my Spectrum provided modem to newer version of same model.

Connected my trip-band RBR20 router system and it will not connect to internet.

Tried all trouble shooting methods for several hrs and won't connect to internet.

Re-installed old modem and connected to internet in 5 minutes.

Has anyone else had this problem and how did you solve ?

Re: RBR20

Sounds more like the new modem was initialized/provisioned from the isp. 

What modem is the old one? 

And the new one?

    The user name is admin. The default password is password. The username and password are case-sensitive.
    The BASIC Home page displays.
    Your Orbi router's firmware version is located in the upper-right corner.

 

If the issues persist after verifying that you are on the current firmware version please try the following steps to resolve this issue:
