Curious if anyone with an Orbi system can try accessing getmonero.org as a simple test since that's so reliably "blocked" for me. If you don't want to load it in a browser a simple `curl` test is fine:

curl: (7) Failed to connect to www.getmonero.org port 443: Connection refused

Curious to see if anyone else can reproduce this issue because some searching online for other reports has proved fruitless.

I have the original Orbi RBR50, and getmonero.org loads fine in web browser.

My PC is using the Orbi to resolve DNS, and the Orbi DNS is currently set to 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8
