RBR40 and RBS20
I have the RBR40 with 3 RBS20 Satellites. System has worked great for a while. However, I do have a couple devices that for some reason are no longer able to access the Internet. The have no problem connecting to the WiFi. That is not the issue. The issue is they connect but cannot access the Internet. I have TVs, speakers, Computers, Phones etc. all on the Orbi and all have no issue getting on the Internet. But now lately I have a couple items that connect but can no longer get to the internet.
Any ideas?

Orbi systems have the ability to "Block" devices from internet. Can you open the Orbi web interface using a web browser (http://orbilogin.net ) and navigate to the Advanced Tab, Security Menu, Access Control:
Even if Access Control is not Enabled (right this minute), some devices may have been "Blocked" in the past. There are also two tables which can be found by scrolling down the screen for (a) devices which were Allowed but are not currently connected and (b) devices which were Blocked but are not currently connected. Orbi remembers every device that has ever connected and these tables can get very long.
Periodically, I enable Access Control, clean out the tables, and then turn it back off. I do not like Access Control, but the tables cannot be manipulated unless it is enabled.
