After a bit of digging, I found this in NetGear’s YouTube channel which explained the process for my situation (combined modem/router)

Firmware version is 2.2.1.210
Modem is a NetGear Nighthawk X4S D7800 and using my iPhone XS to connect to the App Store
Your ISP modem has a built in router I believe. Is the modem in modem mode or router mode?
Yes it does have an inbuilt router and transmitting on 2.4 GHz and 5GHz channels so but cannot see where select either modem or router mode other than disabling the wireless channels ?
Modem Combo Units:
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router.Thanks for the tips ... greatly appreciated but in all likelihood I’ll return it as it’s not the Plug and Paly experience I was expecting
