If you are experiencing internet outages, and you say the ONT is rebooting and the white light on the Orbi is blinking, that indicates the Orbi is trying to reconnect to the dropped internet. Some thoughts, have you ever reset the ONT or changed the connection cable from the ONT to the Orbi router? When I had FIOS, I had to occasionally reset the ONT, usually after brownouts, or I would get intermittent internet outage.
I'm currently downgrading the firmware to see if that works. I've rebooted everything. The internet always works via ethernet but the wifi part of the router goes offline from time to time and then comes back on. I have xfinity and their system shows now outage or issues on their end when running the diagnostic. I noticed this hapopening more frequent since I upgrade the firmware a few days ago.
Please give feed back to the questions presented so we can get an better idea of what you have and the configuration of the Orbi system.

If you are having WIFI only issues and your ISP modem/router's WIFI is turned off, you may be experiencing WIFI inference. Try changing the channel.
The ISP modem has no wifi capabilities.
