Well actually networking standards is to only have 1 connection per device. I've always used 1 connected on my Macs at a time. Not both.
Possible problem in that either Mac is causing problems with both connections being connected at the same time or Orbi doesn't support having two connections to 1 device at the same time.

Right, having two physical connections to a device is really bad, it can cause really odd problems with ARP address resolution on the local network and some services can get really confused by it.
NFS, for example (and possibly other network file systems), gets really confused by responses coming in on a different network interface to the one the it originated on.
