However, none of my devices will stream these cams at home on my wifi using my Orbi. I have disabled all parental controls.
LOVE the campus webcams. (They stream fine on my Orbi RBR50.) Would it be OK to ask which web browser is being used to stream these cams? (on which platforms?)
I would be sort of shocked to think that Disney Circle could ever find these streams objectionable.
As FURRYe38 pointed out, that particular firmware has been "disgraced" and users are encouraged to update to 2.5.1.8. I sincerely doubt that the Orbi firmware is the cause of this specific problem, but there is no sense remaining on firmware with "known issues" of any kind.
Could you explain more about "what happens" when you attempt to stream these feeds?

I use Chromium Edge browser on win10. Chrome on Android. I have Circle disabled.
