Some additional follow-up. My Voip system for work has been giving me fits, so I decided to try AP mode to see if it would fix it.

I have an RMA in progress, so I'm anxiously awaiting my replacement system.

Hoping the RMA will help keep from crashing. Seems like a HW issue. Hopefully the new RMA unit will work for you in router mode however your still having to deal with the ISP router side as well. AP mode maybe the best way for you to use the Orbi with that modem/router.
Keep us posted.
