I don't want to jump the gun here...but I think I figured it out. After searching the web regarding my motherboard wifi, it appears simply changing a wifi configuration setting was all it took. If so, I'm going to take a cold shower and drink some wine.
Pic attached of the change from 802.11n/ac from ac to n. I feel both stupid and smarter at the same time.
I am about to reconfigure the Orbi since I (needlessly) factory reset it. Fingers crossed!
I tried something I should have already tried. The Orbi is unplugged. The ISP gateway is in router/modem mode. I'm currently on the 2.4GHz network wifi. It is working at the moment. I cannot seem to connect to the 5GHz.
I noticed the ethernet connection was capping out at ~230mbps. I'm sitting next to my ISP gateway on the 2.4GHz network and I'm capping out at ~40mbps.
I am going to try powering up the Orbi to see if it makes any difference.
