Modem Combo Units:
This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the 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.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
I would try option #1...

I only did disable the wifi before I thoutgh that would fix the double NAT problem which it didn't but I wasn't sure how to do bridge or what would do to modem, so I just found out how to bridge the modem/router and getting the internet direct from orbi router.
Thank you

Re: Orbi RBR50 router slowing internet speed when even wire connected
Since you have a Orbi RBR system, if you wanted to change out the gateway modem for a modem only unit, I would check out NGs CM series, CM1000 would be a good start. I would check with your ISP to ensure the CM series model line is supported with the ISP first before buying.
