Thanks, I reqad somewhere that people werew questioning the other 3 satellites working when the ORBI is in AP mode, will they still work or 'daisy chain' off each other? I want to be clear on all thie before I make the changes. I need all the satellites to work as our home is 4 levels and over 6300 sf.

Yes.
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.

We are good there, they are working properly where they are all located with perfect signal too!! Jusdt for the life of me wish I could get it all to work. Also, I have already disabled the wifi from the Arris router, so its just using the Orbi WIFI now - do you believe that this is truly an issue with them as Bianca had stated? Before I go through all the deep end stuff?

Just disabling the wifi on the router doesn't resolve the Double NAT condition, this can post problems with connections by apps and devices.
Does the Modem have a web page? if it does, can you see if it has a DMZ? I believe it does.
Over all, just trying to help you find a easy way of correcting this. Take the path thats easiest for you.

It sure does - I am on it now - but to be completely honest with you, I dont see anything about 'DMZ' what categry would it be listed under? Maybe I am going to need a tech out here before I jack something up!! ugh!
