Airplay connection issues with Orbi
Greeting Netgear community, I recently purchased and installed an Orbi system with two satellites. It has been a great addition and works great for wifi in general. One thing I can struggling with is ...

the receiver does not show up as an Airplay option on any of my music apps. I am not sure if it is an issue with my Orbi settings between wifi and LAN or something to do with Airplay. My AppleTV which is also connected via wifi shows up as an Airplay option, which is why I wonder if it has something to do with the cross connection between wifi and LAN.
At this point, all of the "easy answers" appear to have been ruled out. As for the specific question about "if it has something to do with the cross connection between WiFi and LAN?" the answer is 99% "No". As far as the network is concerned, all of the Orbi devices are simply things on the same IP subnet. How they are connected does not matter.
I found a web site about "How to Fix Common Airplay Problems": https://www.chriswrites.com/fix-common-airplay-connection-problems/
and it's no help at all. You have connectivity. The issue is that i(product) apps do not "see" the Denon as an Airplay speaker. If these same apps did not see the Apple TV, my focus would be on the i(device).
Should probably rule out the actual device. Are there other devices at hand that can stream music to Airplay speakers? Do they show the same situation? (TV yes, Denon no)
When you look at the Denon receiver on the Attached Devices display or the Orbi "app", it is not "Paused" or anything?
