Hi. This was eventually reswolved by the ISP changing my IP. No one could conclusively tell me what actually had gone wrong.

What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
What happens if you power OFF the RBR and ISP modem for 5 minutes, then back ON?
You might have your ISP help you change the WAN IP address on the modem to something else...
use whois.domaintools.com to look up where those IP addresses are coming from.

Hi and thanks for the quick response.
The manufacturer of the Mfr seems something local but the model number written is FD600-504G-HR220.
When i power off the modem and the router there is another issue - the modem is back up in 1 min but the router says there is no internet. This deters me from turning off the devices as it takes 3/4 attempts to have the router working. the router and Mfr is connected by wire.
My ISP told me that changing the WAN would only be a temporary solution. They are suggesting for a factory reset of the Orbi.
