I was able to complete this successfully, and downgraded to a stable version firmware.
Here's what I did based on FURRYe38 suggestion, I set Orbi to AP mode first, then connected to a spare router that I have and blocked all ports for Orbi update service (updates.netgear.com or updates1.netgear.com).
