Odd Internet Issues - Orbi Mesh WiFi 6 System
Hi, I've been successfully using a Orbi Mesh WiFi 6 System - AX4200 - 3 pack (RBK753) for about a year, but for several weeks now, I am experiencing annoying problems with one of the satellites. ...

Try the wireless adapter. You can always add a ethernet adapter as well. Most on board or built in adapters I find work ok but add-ons can be more stable.

What verizon router is it?
If its a modem/router combo device, is it in passthrough mode? Or the Orbi's IP address in its DMZ?
Otherwise the orbi is in a double nat.

Hi!
It's the Verizon G3100 Fios Router, doesn't appear to be a combo cable modem, but it does have MOCA out for the Verizon set-top boxes.
The Orbi router is in access point mode and has a static IP assigned in the FIOS Router - no DMZ.
Thanks!

So the G3100 is a combo device. but you have the orbi in AP mode meaning the G3100 is handling dhcp/dns for it.
I'd try going into the g3100 and changing the default dns.
Try a different DNS Server. Here's a few for ipv4. Also remember to change the ipv6 dns server if ipv6 is enabled
CloudFlare 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
GoogleDNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4- BigSchu22Aug 12, 2022Aspirant
Done! Address resolution and general connection issues seem to be resolved!
