    Orbi routers need a modem, ONT or some forum of ISP service interconnect or another router in front of it to connet to the internet. 

    Do you have satellite internet?

    What is this D-Link?

     

    Is it a router? If so, you may need to put the Orbi into access point mode.

     

    Or, depending on what the satellite link delivers, if it just has an Ethernet input, remove the D-Link altogether.
