Double checked. Obtaining all DNS info automatically. Removed switch. Restarted cable modem. Restarted router. No change.
Disney plus still wont work thru Orbi.
The only thing I am currently doing different from default on the orbi is that I am using the backhaul to one satellite.
Keep up the suggestions though... Genuinely interested in figuring this out.

Can you explain? "The only thing I am currently doing different from default on the orbi is that I am using the backhaul to one satellite."

I have one of the RBS50 satelittes connected via ethernet to the main router RBR50. My main PC is then connected via ethernet to the satelite as well. I do this so that I maintain a wired connection to the router for firmware updates etc.

I have since removed the ethernet between the router RBR50 and one of the satellites. I tested again and Disney Plus still would not work wirelessly despite having a great signal, etc., on the firestick.
Ironically, I had to replace my TV today. Once I ran ethernet from the back of my RBS50 satellite to the TV, I got the disney plus app to work no problem. So, why wont disney plus operate wirelessly on the ORBI if it has no problem working when wired directly to the satellite RBS50 via ethernet?

Which Disney+ app did you get to work, the Firestick or your new TV's app?
Did you wirelessly try the Disney+ app on your new TV?
