    Mean the ip range of my orbi should be the same as my router?

I found the solution, is not about setting orbi to AP, it did not work. The solution was to set MAC to "use computer MAC" instead of default.

    Something to do with your ISP?

     

    If your ISP requires MAC authentification, then select either Use Computer MAC address to disguise the router's MAC address with the computer's own MAC address, or Use This MAC Address and manually type the MAC address for a different computer. The format for the MAC address is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX. This value can be changed if Use Computer MAC Address is selected once a value has already been set in the Use This MAC Address selection.
