Facebook using wifi
Phones cannot connect to Facebook using wifi from my orbi. Is there a special setting?

Modem is an Aris TM822 but I don't think that is relevant as 3 wired computers connect just fine.
Several WiFi webcams and Ring doorbel connect just fine. Twitter, dropbox, onedrive, and linkedin work fine on the phones also. Something about facebook.

Ya, seems like something about these phones and FB is having issues. I presume if you disable wifi on the phones, FB works ok on the cell phone service?
Is IPv6 enabled on the Orbi router? If it is, try disabling it.

Yes, works fine on cell service if wifi is disabled. Also works fine on other wifi services - just not mine! IPv6 is disabled.

Try enabling IPv6. My connection to Facebook is always v6 these days.
