I was able to resolve this by switching to ap mode and trying to connect directly to modem and revert back to router mode at which point it started working again. Basically, switching to ap mode and reverting back perhaps force triggered to generate a new ip.

Yes, I did wait for more than 30 seconds for the modem and turned on the orbi router after the modem is fully on.

So with the RBR connected to the modem after it's power cycled, pressing the reset button behind the RBR for 15 seconds then release, give about 2 minutes and with one ethernet connected PC behind the RBR, navigate to 192.168.1.1 in a web browser and walk thru the setup wizard? https://kb.netgear.com/22697/How-do-I-install-my-NETGEAR-router-using-the-router-web-interface
