What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Do you remember what area you were working in on the Orbi router that you might have made changes?
Port Forwarding or Access Controls?

I would check the following areas:
- UPnP & Port forwarding
- DDNS setting if you'r using one for remote access.
