This link is to set a fixed WAN IP address (obtained from ISP) for Orbi in Ruuter mode.
In your case, when Orbi in AP mode, you nead to reserve a fixed IP address for Orbi in the main ISP router. Please use the ISP router's manual on how to reserve a fixed IP address for Orbi. Use the MAC address of the Orbi's WAN port for that (you can see the MAC address in the web GUI by going to >> ADVANCED >> ADVANCED Home >> INTERNET PORT.
