Something on the ONT or cable side is not auto negotiating the 1000Mpbs connection properly.
Orbi auto detects connection rates, nothing to change on the RBR. If the RBR is getting 1000Mpbs when the ISP router is connected and not when direct to the ONT, something to take a look on the ONT and cabling. CAT6 is recommended between the ONT and RBR.
Might power OFF the ONT and RBR while changing cables then power on the ONT and RBR see if anything changes.
Contact the ISP about this.
