What Firmware is currently loaded?

 

The latest firmware (2.3.5.26) is loaded.

 

Modem Combo Units:
This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
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.

 

There is no setting to config the modem to bridge mode.

2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.

 

I already disable the wifi function on the modem. Already did the DMZ on the modem for my Orbi rbr20.

 

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

 

The wifi functionality has been disable on the modem.

 

Try option #2...

 

I would contact NG support about this as well if you can't get speeds near 900Mbps on the RBR.
