Since your Orbi is getting a public IP, that means that DMZ+ is working. You might consider changing DNS servers on the Orbi. Try Google's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).
Also, this shouldn't make a difference, but you can also try changing the Orbi's LAN subnet to 192.168.2.x/255.255.255.0. If you do this, you will have to force all devices connected to the Orbi to obtain new IP addresses.

Yeah I've actually tried google DNS and also Open DNS on orbi to no avail. Also I've tried changing the LAN Ip range 192.168.2.x as well which also made no difference.
So the plot thinkens:
I just got off the phone with AT&T again. They already sent out two Techs to my house who clearly knew nothing and the first one just ran a speed test and diddled around on his phone for a few minutes and told me nothing was wrong. The second guy came out and did the same thing but I forced him to send someone over to look at the actual fiber line to see if something was not getting through, and he told me is was fine.
This time the guy on phone said he tried to do a "profile swap" from his end which involves running a test and it showed that the line was unstable and frequently disconnecting. Now they are sending another guy out to my house.
I really feel like this is some **bleep**ing wire crossed in the install on my house and no one compitent enough has caught it.
this is getting old...
