Thank you--that seems to be what I will need.
I am likely going to do that--change to manual DNS settings and use OpenDNS, google dns, and I can choose a third.
Couple of questions if you know the answer--will I need to RESET my RBR or just reboot?
And would creating a VPN be another way to do it--I could just have my Roku's connect to the VPN and leave everything as is? I've never tried that before.

Thanks. You have been very helpful. I likely cannot do that until tomorrow because my kids are currently in school right now, and as you guessed, school is done remotely where I live at home because of COVID. Resetting the Orbi is a hassle but rebooting is not.
Given how helpful you've been, do you think setting up a VPN would be another workaround and I wouldn't have to reboot?
