Problem solved. Netgear R7900 sitting in a box ready to be donated to a charity that supplies computer supplies to people in need.
Factory reset should solve the issue for re-use.
A couple things to try.
1. enable ipv6 if you haven't and reboot the router/devices.
2. factory reset the router. Maybe an old setting is causing the issue.
3. downgrade the firmware. Maybe the latest did introduce an issue. You can always downgrade.

The only recommendation I received was to roll back the firmware ( have no idea how to do that) but since this was supposed to be a security update I didn't think that was a good idea.
After I replaced the R7900, all the issues went away including a mysterious wireless printer issue that I had not associated w/ the R7900.
One can get a very nice X3000 router for under $120.00 in the US. I thought my network security and time was worth at least that.
