Hi,
Thansk for all the answers!
The setup:
- A fiber modem is connected to the WAN port, signal works fine
- A Sim card is inserted in the orbi and the signal works fine (tested in always 3G/4g to make sure)
- I bought this specific router for the failover option, The Orbi is configured in failover mode
- The orbi is configured in DHCP
Two issues
1) When My fiber modem is still up but i recived no internet signal from fiber line, the Orbi router does not switch to 3G/4G: It seems the orbi assumes that as it still gets a signal from the fiber modem, but without internet connection, everything is fine
2) I am still looking for a way to have my orbi taking over the fixed IP's assigned by my fiber modem
thanks!

So i tried to deactivate the DHCP, the clean way with fiber modem reboot and orbi reboot
A real mess, none of my devices recieved an IP adress, i was unable to access the modem this way and reactivate the DHCP, it ended in a full reset.
I'm still ver blocked with my issues, any insider tipp would help me a lot
