Daylight Savngs Time, NTP, DNS Issues
Something is going on with Orbi routers and NTP/DNS. Since the time change, many users are reporting issues with their DNS failing since the time change: https://www.reddit.com/r/orbi/comments/m5l...
I am having a similar, maybe the same issue. You didn't mention in your post if your devices that are connected to the router via ethernet cable are experiencing the same issue as well. Currently all my wired devices are connected and working properly but any wifi device is showing "no internet" connection.
I have my DNS servers hardcoded in the configuration to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
If I reboot the router it seems to work, but at sometime overnight (maybe after midnight) the problem reappears and wifi devices lose internet connectivity. One device alerts to a DNS issue, but again I have my DNS servers hardcoded in the router config.
Netgear needs to address this issue and quickly.

That's the exact link I put in the original post lol- Same problem, started after daylight savings time hit... I was 1 level below current firmware at v102, upgraded to 104 hoping issue would resolve itself and it is the same on either version. DNS works temporarily, then stops forwarding... really hampering remote office work for both my wife and myself. I've set the DNS statically on our PCs and laptops, but look to Netgear to actually acknowledge and respond to the issue. Staying silent is not helping any of us...

This is for all devices, whether wired or wireless. I first noticed it on my phone, and spent hours trying to figure out what could be wrong with my phone. Turns out, nothing, because it's happening with other devices here, too.
