Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop

Try option #1 as you can bridge the D series modem into modem only mode...

I'm having a few issues with a recently installed RBK50 and how best to connect to the internet.  Currently I'm using an old Netgear Nighthawk D7000v2 as a router (with the Wi-Fi switched off) and connection to my vdsl line (Uk) with Vodafone as the ISP.  Are there better routers that would provide a more stable connection?  
I'm far from a networking expert but would appreciate any guidance/suggestions that might help.  
My download speeds are varying between 15Mbps to 73Mbps.
