chromebook orbi DNS Server
Just purchased Orbi mesh router and now lenovo chromebook shows connection to wifi but when attempting to load webpages responds there is no intent connection. Diagnostic reports - No function DNS ...
So.... if that happens to you, all you have to do is reset everything by restarting modem, router and device.
Thanks to all who offered suggestions.

What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too? Built in router here by chance? IF so, 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
Be sure your device is set for automatic networking and IP addressing.
Have the device forget the wifi profile, then reconnect.
So.. I understand a fraction of what you shared.
I can tell you that the router is sperate from the modem.
The router is RBR10. Wierd thing is that I can use the network at my office...
