Message so it has to be dns related but if I remote login to orbi it's up and running fine. Once I connect to the wifi the orbi app won't even connect pt the router.

Interesting issue.  This web site offers a series of steps to work with this problem, several of which you have already tried.

My focus would be on the computer which is having the problem, rather than on the network. The site recommends clearing browser cache and renewing the DNS address on the computer.

The way we expect things to go is: the computer is set to request an IP address using the DHCP protocol, which also supplies entries for DNS server and backup server.  The Orbi provides its own IP as the DNS server. (It acts as a relay.)  However, the computer itself can be set to ignore that DNS value and use its own.  If (somehow without intending to) the computer's DNS has been changed to ignore the DHCP recommendation, then changing the router to other values will not have any effect.

If "clearing cache and temporary files" doesn't help, I would be interested to know which DNS servers the computer is looking at.  On a Windows computer, open a DOS window and type:

ipconfig /all

The ethernet or WiFi connection being used should show the Orbi as the DNS server.  I often decide to "try out" different DNS servers, go into the Windows Control Panel and change the Network parameters for my ethernet card to ignore the Orbi as DNS and go directly to Cloudflare, Open DNS, or Google DNS.
