..What wired devices do you have connected to Orbi? Any mesh speakers (e.g. Sonos)?
Modem Combo Units:
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

I tried step 3.. Nothing changed.
Is there anyway to make two different ssids names? One for 2.4 and the other for 5.0 ? Maybe this step will fix the problem.

Separating SSIDs is not supported on the orbi, though there is a couple of threads regarding users separating the SSIDs on the Orbi.
You shouldn't have to do this however.
You sure the Wireless is disabled and fully OFF on the ISP modem?
Any other wifi sources near by?
What happens if you turn down the wireless power output on the radios, found under Advanced Tab/Advanced/Wireless settings?
Also set a manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4ghz.
I presume nothing works to help this, you may have a bad system and would need to be RMAd.
I changed the channel from auto to 11.
More than 3 hours everything working great .. if the problem still there I will inform you.
Thank you for your support
Can I ask you what do you mean with RAMd ?
