Wired connections not working with Dynamic DNS
I have a weird connection issue that only happens with wired connections. Wireless connections are fine. I have a RBR850 router and RBS850 satellite, but I am only concerned about the router. Both...
Does directly connecting the PC to the back of the RBR change anything?
Hi, thanks for the suggestion. It is working directly, so it must be the switch somehow. The interesting thing is that the switch (GS108E) works with the Nightwawk (R7800) fine. I restested and not an issue. So something about the Orbi doesn't like what is happening on the switch.

The 108E is a smart managed switch. Manged switches are known to cause problems.
Try disabling IGMP protocols and any green ethernet features on this switch if they are accessible.
I can confirm the NGs GS 105/108v4 (non E version) switchs work with Orbi AX. Also D-Links DGS-105/108 and HP ProCurve 1400/1800 series work fine as well.
To clarify, you are saying you cannot reach local (LAN) assets using the dynamic dns name (e.g. myhouse.ddns.net) -- but you can reach them when you are outside of the LAN?
Loopback can be a problem with switches, e.g., https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-AX/RBK852-Nat-loopback-bug-on-satellite/m-p/1938722/highlight/true
Yeah, I ordered a new switch that is arriving today.
