Orbi 350: Wired connection cannot access internet. Wifi works

I have an Orbi RBR 350. The wifi works well however, the wired connections do not work. 

 

When I connect a laptop via ethernet to the router, it shows up as 'connected to the internet via ethernet' in Windows Network settings. I can also connect to the router via the laptop through www.orbilogin.com and in here it says the internet connection is 'good'. However, I cannot access the internet through any of the browsers on the laptop (Chrome / Explorer). I have tried two laptops.

And both laptops have there networking settings set for obtain IP addressing automatically? 

Do these laptops work ok with being wireless? 

Be sure to swap LAN cables with a good working cable. CAT6 is commended.

I tried a different router and the wired connection works fine so it must be an issue with the Orbi router.

I commend you contact NG support and ask for help and information regarding this. Ask about an RMA. Seems that the RBR maybe faulty and needs replaced. Seems to be a known issue. Work around for now is to use AP mode with a different router.
