Sounds like a good case for a warranty claim, provided that the router is less than one year old (sigh).
The only thing to be gained by connecting the WhiteBox to the ISP router would be to completely nail down "it's NOT the WhiteBox." (or the laptop, either)
Yes, I did find "How can I join up?" My guess is that Spectrum is heavily covered already and there's not much chance in them wanting more data. Such a cool idea!

Hi again
The bad news is that the Orbi router and satellites are over a year old and therefore out of warranty. However......
I logged into the WhiteBox dashboard to run another instant speed test, and was surprised to notice that the result of the scheduled test appeared to have recently increased. I ran an instant test, and the results are back to normal!
I can only assume that it took a while for the Orbi factory reset to rectify the issue.
