Intermittently, my iphone would complain that no internet is available, appears that it couldn't obtain an address from dhcp. Usually resolves within a minute or so, or as soon as I roam to a non-Orbi AP. When I look at the log of dhcp server, i see mutiple attempts with DHCPDISCOVER/DHCPOFFER but no DHCPREQUEST/DHCPACK. What might be the issue ?
Do you have an ISP modem router in your mix, and if so is it configured as a DHCP server?
What is your Orbi router connected to?

yes i have a att bgw210 connected, but its dhcp is also disabled. orbi router internet port is connected to a dumb switch which is also connected to the isp modem and a vm host where pihole(dhcp/dns server) is running on.
