Could you clarify: the Orbi WiFi network name (SSID) does not appear on the list of available WiFi networks?
Do you have a laptop or desktop computer that can be connected to the Orbi with an ethernet cable?

My guess is it is time to get out the paperclip and perform a "factory reset" on the router.
Good Luck!
