Orbi RBR50 RF interference
Firmware v.2.7.424 I have an Orbi Mesh RBR50 system with 2 satellites. 1 is connected via Ethernet, the other by Mesh. I am on a Radio Frequency Internet service, not WIFI. The Radio Re...
WiFi frequencies depend on Region (where in the world). For the "50-series" Orbi they are:
5.775GHz (5,775Mhz) is the frequency band used for the 5G WiFi backhaul connection between router and satellites.
I would expect the frequency scanner to also detect the user facing radios operating at 5.18-5.24GHz.
It would help to know more about the Internet Service Provider (ISP) device. If it is a telecommunications firm offering an LTE connection, those typically operate in specific frequency bands (also by country). This Wikipedia article describes the LTE frequencies in use in many parts of the world:. (Scroll to the bottom table.)

None of the typical LTE frequency bands are at the same 5,775Mhz frequency used by the Orbi backhaul (North America).
So, my initial impression is, "no dice." If typical WiFi interfered with LTE connections, nothing would be working - not cell phones, not LTE modems or Hot Spots. Nada.
Of course, this network provider might not be an LTE connection.
