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.

I am about to reconfigure the Orbi since I (needlessly) factory reset it. Fingers crossed!
Well. Currently, I can only connect the new PC to the ISP gateway's 2.4GHz wifi network, unless I'm hardwired, which I'm not at the moment.
I fired up the Orbi in AP mode and the other devices in the house seem to connect to the Orbi's network just fine. I haven't noticed any difference in speed/performance.
I tried connecting the new PC to the Orbi's network and it is still not functioning...but only with the new PC still.
