Tried swapping and it made no difference. Restored Orbi to factory settings and reset up as new. Still no difference.

This is barely 2 years old and expensive and I can not call them, chat with them without paying for a third party support package for $100+.

Thanks for the troubleshooting help. Netgear is dead to me.

take a look at the port. maybe a pin is bent/dirty/corroded.
you can also try a loopback test
try that and look at the port statistics then.
