Ping randomly skyrocketing from 20ms to 12,000ms
It all started this morning. I was playing PlayStation 4 with some buddies the all of the sudden I started lagging! So I performed some ping tests and my ping was at about 12,000ms (12 seconds). ...

I did try my old netgear router and overall I'd say the ping issue wasn't prevelant with that router. I noticed some ping fluctuations but they were minor compared to what I'm dealing with when using the Orbi. And this all only started just 2-3 weeks ago. It's odd because all of my speed tests come back great with the Orbi but then I get into an online game and the lag is unbearable.

have you tried port forwarding or dmz the device you are playing on in the orbi as this may help , certainly a strange one , i would prob even suggest a factory reset and see if that helps
