Test a either net connected PC connected to the ISP router to check.
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and Orbirouter. CAT6A STP is recommended.
What Firmware version is loaded on the Orbi system?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router 📡 and satellite(s)🛰️? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR 📡 and RBS 🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.

What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Smart Parental Controls or Circle, IPv6, Traffic Meter.
Does the SkyHub have a DMZ? If so, try the Orbi system in router mode in the Hubs DMZ.
