- This setup works for almost everything - WiFi and cabled network users have fast and reliable network, the Guest network works perfectly - the only thing that sofar isn't working is my QNAP NAS and the DDNS i relies on for updates, which influences the software updates of the NAS. I had a very similar setup working with a somewhat unstable TP router, where the WiFi simply was insufficient for the building, and now with my lovely new Orbi I can't get the last bit to work...
I would really appreciate some input on where my problem might be.

You probably don't need to add static routes, it's may be enough to just activate RIP in the LAN setup as follows (please try RIP_2B, if RIP_1 does not work):

Modem Combo Units:
This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
