try this.
Power off tthe modem and the router.
Unhook everything from both, even coax from modem.
Wait 2 minutes.
Then connect coax back to modem and power it on.
Wait a couple minutes for it to fully boot.
Then connect modem lan port to wan port on orbi router.
power the orbi on. Wait a couple minutes for it to fully boot.
Attempt setup on the orbi
