Please try a factory reset and setup from scratch with the RBR and RBS.
Power OFF The ISP Modem as well for 30 seconds then back on. Walk thru the setup wizard and be sure to write down all important information. Be sure not to enable Armor, Circle, Access Controls, QoS or Traffic Meter on the RBR.

Has Armor or Circle been enabled?
Has a factory reset been performed and setup from scratch?

Many Orbi customers replace their old router with a new Orbi router, use the same SSID, and all their smart devices still work and connect to the new Orbi wireless network.
So factory reset your Orbi, setup its wireless network in the same way and using the same SSID, and then your smart devices should connect again automatically.
