what firmware is on your orbi's?
Did you try resetting the Echo's to factory and reinstalling?
How about shutting the 2 connected echo's off and then trying to install the other devices?
How do you have your wireless setup? Is it password protected and with what wireless password settings?
I'm running a current orbi setup with 3x echos 1st gen, 2x echo dot 1st gen, and 1 echo dot 3rd gen without any connection issues so I know it can be done with orbi.

wpa, wpa2, wep. What protocol did you use. It should be fine if your other echo devices connected. Also be aware that echos struggle with special characters in the wireless password. Worth checking into that too.
