Internet Port Going Bad?

Question

This is my first post.&nbsp; &nbsp;I bought the RBK853 in December and it really has worked great up until a few weeks ago.&nbsp;Recently the Internet Port has begun flapping (going up/and down) losing Internet connectivity. &nbsp; It works for a little bit then stops.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When it sporadically works I run a speed test and get 90Mbits down before disconnecting. &nbsp; I tried my old router and 400Mbps+ down.&nbsp; At this point to use the Orbi reliablly it has to be in bridge mode connected to my old router (I use the non-Internet ports and 400Mbps+ then).&nbsp; I would keep in bridge bridge modem but, my Satellites don't work.&nbsp;I tried the following troubleshooting:- Factory Reset- New Ethernet Cables- New Cable Modem- Different Router In Front (Works great this way with Orbi in Bridge Mode.&nbsp; If I double NAT and use the Internet Port I have the same problem as it directly connect to the cable modem )- Called Tech Support (they told me no way it was hardware. &nbsp; They said it has to be software if I am able to access it.)&nbsp;Anyone have any other ideas?&nbsp; To me in seems like the Internet NIC on the Orbi is going bad but I am open to ideas.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Unfortuantly no.&nbsp;&nbsp; I tried rolling back to older firmware version and no luck there either.&nbsp;&nbsp; Still having the same issues if I have the Internet Port directly plugged in.&nbsp;&nbsp; Internet Port flaps (going/up down) and throughput really is choking when it is working.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With another router in front, the Orbi in AP Mode, and using a non Internet port the Wifi works great where it can reach. &nbsp;&nbsp; Problem is Satellites won't sync.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

I'd make contact with NG support regarding this...may have a faulty unit.&nbsp;
