Thanks.
For info, there is no ISP modem. The Orbi plugs directly into the broadband (we have fibre directly into the property).
I've already restarted the Orbi.. made no difference.
Not (yet) willing to try reflashing or factory reset until other options are exhausted. Just too extreme, too much risk, and too much hassle to manually reconfigure everything. The ticket is open with Netgear so maybe that will turn up something.
