All connections show green and show activity, but the Orbi does not show anything is connected to Ethernet.
To clarify: "show green and show activity" refers to (a) the Orbi web interface or (b) the Orbi "app"?
Do the wired devices function, and the question is why they do not show as connected, or do they actually not function?
Activity with the green blinking lights on the ethernet connection itself. All devices are working, the only change is the firmware.

What happens when one of the devices is powered off and back on? Does the device report getting an IP address from the Orbi after restart?
When I reboot a device it says no internet connection and does not get an IP address from the Orbi.

And the WiFi connected devices are "just fine"?
Darn. I wish the Orbi ethernet ports had activity LED's like switches and PC's do.
Sometimes, the Orbi just loses it's mind and the only thing left is to do a "factory reset". This sucks big time if there are a lot of devices which have IP addresses assigned in the Advanced LAN Setup.
