If you have not done so, try a factory reset and reconfigure the Orbi router

I can try but it's a real pain. I need to call Comcast back each time and ask them to unbridge the modem. Also, why would it stop working randomly overnight and why would a factory reset help? Did some setting get randomly corrupted? I've been having issues with the router for about 4 months now, required daily reboots for random 1 week stretches.

I know it is, and everyone is reluctant to do it. However, every manufacturer's router I deal with, sometimes for some reason, whether it's power outage, mis configure, etc, they malfunction, and the only way to get the router or satellite to work properly is to factory reset it.
What is your Comcast router connected to? You should be able to setup your Orbi router, as Comcast is issuing an IP address and DNS servers.
