Everything works...except Netflix (Orbi RBR50 v2)
I'm an IT Professional, and my buddy hit me up the other day having an issue with his new home WiFi setup. Turns out he got an RBR50 v2, and a Satellite. Everything working just great -- no prob...
You can try Voxels FW for Orbi:

You can revert back to stock FW if it doesn't work out for you.

US based account, yes, and I'm sure it's not an account issue because same issue presented on my laptop on MY netflix account.
I'm going to have to get back over there and just factory reset the Orbi and build it back up. I wonder if a device on his network is creating an issue maybe.
Many thanks for this suggestion -- I didn't know there was any alternate FW options for the Orbi stuff, so this will definitely be my plan B! (because I assume it's not as user friendly for my buddy)
Voxels FW is user friendly. The UI is the same. Better looking icons are seen in his FW.
Let us know how it goes.

(because I assume it's not as user friendly for my buddy)- Curious if this was ever resolved. I am actually having the same exact issue, but with an Eero system. Oddly enough, I am also a Wow subscriber but have my own modem (cm1200). Everything works except for Netflix and the issue just started 4 days ago. Nothing has changed on my end and I was able to determine the issue lies with the Eero as when I bypass it and hardwire in through the modem, it works fine again. Please let me know if you ever found a solution to this.
Please visit the Eero mfr support site and community for help and information regarding there product. Contact Netlix support as well for help and information regarding there app.
