Try powering OFF the ISP ONT device and RBR for 30 seconds then back ON?
Ensure your using good quality LAN cable between the ONT and RBR. CAT6 is recommended.

Thank you for your reply. Netgear technical support said ORBI RBR850 will not work with Netcomm NDD-0300 FTTC NBN modem. I have to return and find some other solution.
Currently I have d-link DL-4320L modem/router which works fine, but not powerful enough for wifi signal to reach the first floor of the house. Do you have any suggestion?

On the D-Link 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.

The only issue I faced similar to yours, was activating Armor. While this was activated, I experienced frequent dropouts on the internet port. Since disabling the trial, my connection has been stable.- FURRYe38Aug 01, 2021Guru - Experienced User
Thanks for posting this information. I beleive the OP returned his Orbi system though. Maybe they will come back.
