Xfinity router stopped hard wired internet access

My xfinity Xb6-a router suddenly stopped internet access via my NETGEAR Orbi Home Mesh WiFi (RBK50) which was setup 2 years ago.  We tried connecting a laptop to the xfinity router computer ports but do not get internet either.  We have rebooted the router several times over the last 2 weeks to no avail.

Is your XB6 in bridge mode or regular router / gateway mode ? If it is in bridge mode did you power cycle / restart it after connecting the laptop to it ? There's no need to go private yet. Please reply right here on these public help forums where other readers here may be helped by the interactions. Thank you ! Maybe someday these Comcast employees will get it but I highly doubt it.... Sad......
