Google found me this site that checks ntp servers:
https://keetweej.vanheusden.com/query_ntp.php
When I checked, time-a.netgear.com, time-b.netgear.com, and time-c.netgear.com all report status. You might check and see what it reports for you.
Perhaps it would be worth trying to use a different ntp server. Popular ones are listed here:
https://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi
The Orbi ntp server is set on the Orbi web interface Advanced Tab, Administration, NTP Settings.
