I have followed that process but still have no luck.
This was how I initially configured my set up in 2019 and it worked fine until a couple of days ago.
I'm inclined to think that there is an issue with the Orbi as the DM200 allows me a access the internet in Modem & Router mode
So does the Orbi connect using DHCP with the DM modem in router mode at all?
Try swapping LAN cables between the RBR and Modem? CAT 6 is recommended.

It did not connect

Don't happen to have a prior or different router on hand to test with do you?
