thx for your help, i feel so stupid I just dont understand all of that, my modum was bridges all this time without issues, out of nowhere it stopped working, ive already contacted the internet provider to set my modem to normal, and that orbi, ill be smashing that thing into a wall... i had issues like this once before, and it had something to do with an update.... had to reset my whole network to get it fixed, i hoped it was as bad as then, but still could fix it.... but, no, im not lucky today, maybe its again an update, but this orbi router now doesnt let me get into it.... i guess its broken....

 

again thx for trying to help me...

Might try a 30-30-30 reset on the RBR and see if this helps wipe and factory reset the RBR and clears this bad state. Last resort: https://www.lifewire.com/hard-reset-rule-for-routers-3971318

 

Do this with the RBR disconnected from everything. Use a phone stop watch to track the time.
