I am having issues with my laptop and then my phone using wifi to browse.  The problem is intermittent and not at the same time on all devices.  Suddenly my mac laptop will start blocking all website...

So the problem stops happening suddenly,  so I can't test these solutions at present, but thank you all for the steps.    It may be that private relay stops things when the iCloud servers are not working. I have turned that off and see the option to turn off randomizing wifi MAC and IP address tracking protection.   Those will be my next steps if the problem recurs. 

 

FYI    Firmware is current on the Orbi 50 system, 5G    ---  2.7xx

Contact Apple support for any odd issues with there services if seen. 

 

Glad it's working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
