Thanks so much. If I put Orbi into AP mode, should I also have Optimum put my router into Bridge mode?
I put it in AP mode previously without putting the router into bridge mode and I had a lot of problems. Maybe bridge mode is the solution.

NO, If Orbi is in AP mode, the ISP modem needs to be in router mode. If you use the ISP modem in router mode, have the ISP disable ALL wifi radios on the modem.
