    Really interesting: 

    I telnet-ed into the Orbi and noticed that resolv.conf was NULL.  I editied it so that it contained working DNS, rebooted and viola!

thanks for the reply Mstrbig 

Firmware is 2.7.0.70.

I can log in to the admin interface and there is no explicit filtering or blocking.

My ISP is Comcast.  Topology is Modem (Netgear CM1200) ->Orbi Router->backhaul to switch->satellites and other hardwired devices.

I've tried it with and without the switch and with and without hardwired devices and backhauls.

I did flush the DNS - no joy.

I try the other things you suggest then will reply here.
