Congratulations (I guess) on purchasing one of Netgear's newest WiFi 6 products, the Orbi "AX" serier.
There is a community forum set up expecially for these products here:
https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-AX/bd-p/en-home-orbi-ax
You may find that the volunteers who watch that forum have direct experience with the AX product, whereas those of us who watch this forum are more familiar with the WiFi 5 "residential" Orbi product. Might get a more informed response by posting in that forum.
Just as an initial observation, your network has to have at least one router. If the ISP device is in "passthrough" mode and the Orbi is in "Access Point" (AP) mode (as far as I am aware, Orbi does not have a "bridge" mode), then you have NO routers. Nothing will work.
Perhaps I misunderstood.
