Hi,
I just went thru similar difficulty, to set it up for Bouygues FAI in France
The way I manage to solve it:
- use a computer, not the app
- download the latest firmware for the ORBI LBR20 (Mine had 2.7.1 which was not good with my FAI it seems. v2.7.5.6 did it well)
- put the LBR outside and run it
- when ready, open http://192.168.1.1
- look at the firmware version (top right). If old, update it (advanced::Administration:update::manual). It takes a while
- then make sure the router knows about the SIM card PIN code, if any
- and use the config assistant
- it takes a while, might need a restart, but works fine
- only then, you will have to find an indoor location that works...
Good luck! I spent hours as well.
