       The exact meraning of "certain sites" is a little unsertain.

     

       Generally, cascading multiple routers can cause multiple problems.

     

       Is there a modem of some kind connected to the SACZVIK router?  (What
    _is_ connected to its WAN port?)

     

       If all your computers/devices are connected to the Orbi gizmos, then
    you might want to remove the SACZVIK router and connect directly to the
    Orbi WAN/Internet port.

     

       If you have computers/devices connected to the SACZVIK, then you
    might want to configure the Orbi as a wireless access point.  Visit
    http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look for
    Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.  Look for "Use
    the router as a WiFi access point only".
