Thanks
Perhaps lets share this with my friends:
I'm on 2.7.2.104 and using a pi-hole as DNS server (configured in Orbi "Use These DNS Servers" -> only pi-hole IP configured in "Primary DNS"). Never saw this issue.
If someone has issues with his Orbi system I suggest this procedure:
1) take a backup of the config on Orbi
2) Reset to factory default
3) setup Orbi and reload the saved config from step 1
If this does not help, then we can think about a firmware downgrade or reapply of the same firmware file again.

Your suggestions are already proven to be of no help. Read the 100's of posts in here. Then on top of that you tell people to reapply the same firmware. Now that's superior advice.
The moderators here will be telling you to remove you disclaimer flame.
Your post claims v104 is just fine though:

:smileysad:Hey here's an idea.....instead of you two beating me up, what don't you channel your energy and actually help someone.
Pick one of these posts where the user is having problems after a firmware update, reply/quote to it and share your bountiful knowledge.
