The one observation that continues to amaze me with posts such as this is we have no idea how this problem came about. Is this a new setup or have you owned the Orbi for awhile. Any changes to the network, new devices, firmware updates, power outages, etc.
Without providing more details as to how we got where we are one must conclude that the user woke up one morning to the problem.

Have owned for over a year. I don’t know how this came about. All I know is the system went down at one point Saturday morning, not sure how or why. Everything came back online but there were certain devices that would not gain access to the internet. By turning them off or pausing in the app and then turning on, they seemed to work again. The one that did not was the MacBook in my original post.
Not being able to get it to work led to my troubleshooting today and here we are. Nothing else significant has changed, other than a new Xbox X added on Christmas. All other devices have been on the network.
