Orbi blocking websites, Frontier Quantum Gateway
I have Frontier internet service via a Quantum Gateway router. I attached an Orbi router and two satelittes and the system worked fine for almost a year until last week. I cannot load most websites. ...

This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
I had my Frontier Quantum Gateway router confgured for bridge mode and the Orbi router as my router for almost a year and all worked well UNTIL we had lots of storms here. I have reset the Frontier Quantum Gateway, made sure it was then set into bridge mode and reattached the Orbi but the Orbi is still blocking most websites from loading. Once I disconnect the Orbi, reset the Frontier Quantum Gateway to router mode, all works fine.
