Anything in here of use?
Do both wired and wireless stop working?
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? IF your ISP Modem already has a built in router and wifi. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, 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.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop

I scanned that thread and found nothing of help. Wired and wireless stopped working. I can't access my router, via Orbi app or web login, so can't verify channels. After factory reset I see in the Orbi app either "Orbi product not found" or "issues connecting with," with note to try disconnecting from mobile data, then try again. Doesn't work.
Modem is a Netgear Nighthawk CM1200, <Serial number removed>.

Set up the RBR from scratch using a wired PC and web browser.
Also un-install Orbi app and re-install it...
Do not post SN or MAC addresses in public forums.
