Orbi blocking some web traffic
I recently bought an Orbi system, and I have found that for some reason it is blocking certain web traffic.
It will allow Stan to connect, but blocks Netflix. It won't allow my AppleTV to update its software. It won't allow graphic content in emails and won't allow access to certain websites.
I have all access restrictions switched off, and my main wifi doesn't have any of these problems (but has crappy range).
Is there any way to change the Orbi settings to stop it blocking web traffic?

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router

Thank you. I have tried this. I will test it further to see whether the problems continue.
