I would use the ISP provided router and connect the RBR to this router.
And if the ISP provided router has WIFI, turn it off.
What type of ISP router you have ?
Could you set a "static-route" there ?A little picture to better show what I mean.
Doesn't matter if the ISP provided router has limited functionality.
Therfore you have the ORBI system where you connect all your switches, devices, ...
The IP addresses can change, adapt it accordingly

Ok, I would try setting the modem back to router mode. then after you get FW updated, set the RBR for router mode as well. Set your modems DMZ for the IP address given to the RBR and see if the RBR connects then. If so, You might try back to modem only mode with the modem and set the RBR up for the ISP account. I'd contact the ISP to ensure the account information is correct and the configuration is correct on the RBR for the ISP account. There many something else that is needed from the ISP for the RBR to connect correctly.
