Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Thanks for all your help
Old enough to remember ethernet and building in redundancy by adding alternative routes and thought (mistakenly) that this was now a good idea with the wifi and DHCP - oops.
Orbi now only connection to disabled modem/router and then everything else down stream connected to the Orbi mesh and it WORKS like a dream.
Many thanks to all
