It certainly cannot hurt to power off all of the satellites during initial diagnosis.
Probably worth confirming how the router describes the physical connection to the modem. On the Orbi web interface, Advanced Tab, click on the blue box "Show Statistics". The entry for WAN should show 1000/Full, correct?
With this collection of parts, my guess is that the Orbi is well outside the 90 day window for "complimentary support". Did it come from another location where it was working correctly?
