My take on this is a big "beats the heck out of me". What I was able to establish was that (in my case) it was not the Orbi. It was the laptop.
Yeah, I suspect it's this particular laptop triggering something for sure. Just don't know how to even get started diagnosing what.
And the logs I was refering to was the Orbi logs.

That makes sense, Orbi offers and the laptop asks again, so the Orbi offers again.
Dumb old me, I would have thought Orbi would only log once the entire DHCP handshake was completed with the Accept.

As much as we gripe about Netgear offering only 90 days of 'complimentary support' with purchases, I have no idea how to get a response out of Microsoft about a problem. Maybe the PC vendor?
When I used the debug WAN/LAN Capture, I opened the lan.pcap file with Wireshark and set a Display Filter to dhcp.
