This BT HUB, what is the model # of it?
This ISP modem have a built in router already? If so, it needs to be fully bridged, or if it can't be, use the DMZ on the modem for the Orbi routers IP address that the modem gives to the Orbi router. Disable any BT HUB wireless radios if the modem can't be bridged.
Use CAT6 LAN cableing between the modem and Orbi router.

Well the only way I made mine reliable is to downgrade the firmware to V2.0.1.4

THe DMZ differs on ATT modems from BT HUB modems. The ATT modems don't have FULL DMZ Features.
