With a modem/router in front of the Orbi, you should either put the C6250 into modem only mode or the Orbi in to wireless access point mode.
When messing around with these devices, you should start them in the right order.
Don't just switch the C6250 into modem only (bridge) mode and expect it to work.
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug modem.

- Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on computers and rest of network.
After this is done, try again with the satellites.
