Orbi 762S - constantly stalls, at least once a week - 4000ms ping times, packet loss.
I owned a TP-Link AX73 router which worked well, but had poor reception at the rear of my house. It also didn't work as well when the Family Security option was enabled, so I decided to buy the Orbi ...
I have currently got the Orbi running in AP mode and so far its working fine, but only been in this config for 24 hours.
However this means I can't use the Family Security feature I paid for - it doesn't work in AP mode.
If my AX73 supported bridge mode, I'd try that so the Orbi could be in router mode, but it doesn't appear to support it (I've logged a case with TPLink).

I'm using the same CAT6 cable with the AX73 as I used for the Orbi. I don't think this is relevant.
Try this with the RBR and your ISP router:
Disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode and your security features on the system.
Cabling IS relevant. I'd swap for something new just to be sure.
