Yes, it is possible for a device to become "paused".
With the laptop connected to the Orbi WiFi network, please navigate to the Orbi web interface (http://orbilogin.net ), the Advanced Tab, Security Menu, Access Control.
First, notice if Access Control is "Turned on."
Second, examine the table of devices to locate the laptop using the hardware MAC address.
Is this device marked "Allowed" or "Blocked"?
Would be helpful to know the specific model of Orbi router and the firmware release currently on the router. This appears at the top right of most of the web pages.
