More likely to be a configuration problem at your end. But with so little information from your end, who knows where it goes wrong?
Did it ever work? Or is this a new setup?
What is this Orbi admin site? Do you man the browser graphical user interface that lets you manage the router? If so we can forget about firmware versions. You won't be able to read them.
What is the modem in front of the router? As FURRYe38 suggests, this could be important.
Sadly, these things are not "plug and play". They take a bit of effort to set up. Netgear tries to make it easy, but you can't rush through it without following the instructions.
There is support for the Orbi WiFi System, including a manual, somewhere at the end of this link:
