Be sure to try one of the following for your ISP modem:

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge 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 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

Thanks for letting us know about the modem.

  Hi.
  Sorry for my stupid question. If I will change Orbi from router to AP mode I need make something additional configuration or just change into advance section and all definitions, that were saved on router , will be worked.
  Thanks.

    Yes, basically all basic settings will stay the same. Only router related functionality, like DHCP, VPN, DDNS, .. will cease to work from Orbi and you should get equivalent functionality from your ISP router instead.
