I did not use a Beta build nor am I working with Netgear for my issues (I have easy workarounds or not serious enough to spend my time on it). I'm using the latest available for public download: V3.2.17.12_1.4.14.
I FOUND THE PERMANENT FIX!!!!
What I did was boxed up my $1000 Orbi system and returned it, then reinstalled my older RBR50 / AC3000 system with the same configuration on our network and boom! No DNS issues, errors or device timeouts and I don't even have to enable IPv6 for it to work!

I'm going to buy the Asus WiFi6 mesh solution and never look back.
Good Luck.
