Do you have a reason for creating a network that has "double NAT"?

That arrangement is going to create the access issues that seem to aflict you.
This for example:
The Orbi app doesn't see any Orbi or satellite (this was fine a few days ago).If I type in 192.168.1.1 - I get an error cannot connect from Windows (Chrome, Firefox, Edge browsers - Cache all cleared)... I cannot login from Safari on a Mac laptop... I cannot utilize Orbi app.
A lot of people use Orbi routers in AP mode to get round those roadblocks.
By the way, Netgear warns that Safari won't work for various things. such as Password Recovery.
