Orbi RBR20 regular disconnects

Hello, I have the above Obri Router.  For the past 11 months, it has worked great.  Our internet service provider installed a new modem and since then every day I need to reset the Orbi (unplug, wait 30 seconds, plug back in).  Then it works find for about 24 hours.  

Firmware version is: V2.5.1.16

 

Our cable modem is an Arris model:TG3452.

 

Any troubleshooting ideas are welcome. Thank you!

3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the

Hey Furrye38, I sent you a private message, if you don't mind looking at it, I have a similar situation with my C7800 disconnecting often.
