Did you power the modem off for 30 seconds and restart it?

Yes, I've done that and gone through the initial setup 4-5 times. Called spectrum, they tested the modem from their end.

Try setting up the Orbi with a wired PC and web browser connecte to orbilogin.com

 

Modem Combo Units:
This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop

Resolved this issue by returning Orbi and buying Google WiFi which worked perfectly out of the box.

Orbi would have worked if the suggestions would have been tried. 

 

Good Luck.
