After you configure the modem for modem mode, you should power OFF the modem for 1 minute then back on then reset the RBR and walk thru the setup wizard. I would even ask fo additional help from your ISP about your modem to be sure it's configured correctly for modem only mode.

Hi
I have the Orbi working along with the Satellite but it only works when the Superhub 3 I on wifi mode, as soon as I switch it ti Modem only the Obie doesn't work. it shows a full signal but I have no internet connection.. and that is after rebooting after the change...the only way it works is with the Superhub wifi switched on???

I may have figured it out, - Ill give it a go tomorrow... a friend told me that if I put the Superhub into Modem only mode only one connection will work and I already have the Tivo box connected...... so Im guessing if I pull that out and connect it to the Orbi, and only the Orbi connected to the Superhub that should do it. what do you think?

Yep that's your problem. I missed telling you that. I assumed you only had the Orbi connected. Once you switch to Modem only it distributes only one IP address from the ISP.

Let us know how it turns out. Yes, you only get one IP address when the modem is in modem only mode.
