In my case such "starnge" issues -I noticed- were not directly related to the device or Orbi but were caused by "loops" in my network!
Please disconnect all wired devices, restart Orbi and see if the issue will be gone. If yes, then start connecting the devices one by one to locate which device is causing the issue. If you have ethernet mesh speaker (Sonos for example) then most probably it's them causing all your troubles.
