I used this procedure which said Get dynamically from existing router.
It said Enable fixed IP settings on this device (not recommended)
I am now stuck in the position that the Orbi app does not see my RBE771.
I deleted the app, powered off my phone. It says it has issues connecting to the RBE771 networks I configured.
It says no devices found with Anywhere Access enabled found. What is that?
New System Setup will take me down that rat hole of configuring as a router.

with my ORbi 370 series system, similar to the 770 series, same AP mode process, mines in AP mode and Orbi app is connected to the RBR over anywhere access which had already been enabled.
RBR was first in router mode not connected to any internet services, then configured AP mode as per Static IP address for AP mode configuration using a ethernet connected PC and MS Edge browser, and as the RBR rebooted, I connected the RBRs WAN port to a RAX50v2 I currently have onliine.
