It's only a suspicion on my part, hence the request for an update.  I can't really test/verify my suspicion because my Orbi is currently running in AP Mode.  If NTP/time server is not working properly, it could cause problem for Orbi/DHCP when it's time to renew its WAN IP address because DHCP relies on working NTP/timer for IP address renewal.
