RBR40 Orbi wired devices not connecting suddenly

On my Orbi RBR40, wired connections suddenly stopped working while doing computer work. Wireless connections still work fine.
The Orbi is connected to a modem, with no other routers involved. No config setting should have changed, as I am the only user on my network who has access to the config panel. When I go into the Orbi admin panel and look through the devices, the wired devices will occassionally show up and then dissappear after a short time. The router is 18 months old. I tried the following to fix the problem:
- Restarting the Orbi (~1 min power cycle, and from config panel)
- Resetting the Orbi
- Restarting the modem
- Using multiple devices
- Using multiple ethernet ports
- Using multiple ethernet cords
- Updating firmware to the latest version
Solved! Go to Solution.

I fixed it for now. I'm not sure why the topic posted, it said that it failed to post as I needed to add a label, so I added a label and clicked post but it looks like it posted both times. I couldn't figure out how to delete the first one.
We have a moca adapter which I didn't think could possibly be at fault due to my very limited networking knowledge, but after restarting that, things are working again.
