ORBI is not working for me

I went through the setup and everything. it tells me to connect to my orbi's network and for SOME REASON it keeps saying "Connection failed" and won't let me connect to the orbi's wifi.

I've tried redoing it, I've tried turning off the router, I've tried every solution I could think of

If anyone has any solutions that has worked for them I'd love to hear it

PLEASE don't tell me I paid $106 for a brick and a frustrating app

EDIT: Added pictures to show what's up

I went through the setup process and all and it's telling me to connect to a wifi that doesn't even exist to finish the setup

And when it DOES show up, it says "failed to connect" before either disappearing on it's own, or disappearing upon refreshing the list, only leaving "Orbi_setup" in it's place, which the app doesn't let me use for anything. (I don't even know why that connection sits there)

I have 2 satellites with it, after a while, the satellite's light will glow blue.

EDIT2 2: I have an RBS10 model

EDIT 3: Problem solved! I wound up connecting a router into the modem, and connecting the ORBI into THAT router, then did the setup process, using the new router and the orbi instead
