I am using the Orbi RBR50 with the AT&T modem which I must use with the service. I cannot use another modem.

Try AP mode then. Should work. A reset on the RBR maybe needed. I would manually configure the RBR with it disconnected from the modem first. Set a new IP address, 192.168.1.50 on the RBR for AP mode so you will always access the RBRs web page at this address. Set your modems default IP address range to 192.168.1.100 to .200. Save all settings then reboot the RBR and connect the WAN port to the back of the modem.

Factory reset the RBR with a wired PC connected to the RBR while the RBR is disconnected from the modem.
Press the back reset button for 15 seconds then release.
You should be able to access the RBRs web page at 192.168.1.1. Walk thru the setup for select manual configuration. Once your on the home page, go in and set AP mode on the RBR. Select Static IP address for the RBR for AP mode. Set 192.168.1.50. 1 being the same number as what the modem uses. If its' different, please change this 3rd number to the same as what the modem uses. Use same subnet mask as modem and use the modems IP addresss for the gateway, maybe 192.168.1.1. For DNS you can use your ISPs DNS or custom, like 1.1.1.1 and 9.9.9.9 or something you like to use. Apply the setting. The RBR will reboot. When this happens connect the RBRs WAN port the modems LAN port.

I have never been able to access the webpage with that method. I had one before and the Netgear support could not get it to do it either. They sent me a new Orbi (the previous one did not work at all). I cannot connect to the web interface at all ever with a factory reset. I attempted to do it on the initial set up.

If you can't administrate your Orbi anymore then the last fallback is to factory reset it start over: https://kb.netgear.com/31486/How-do-I-reset-my-Orbi-system-to-factory-default-settings. Configure your Orbi this time in AP mode.

I have never been able to admister my Orbi. Only the app for set up works. I need to know how to set in AP mode without the web interface or figure out how to get the web interface to work.
