Can't play Apple Music on Orbi
Can't play Apple Music.
Easily set up the network. Could easily connect my iPhone, iPad etc. However, whenever I tried to play Apple Music radio on the orbi wifi, it would not stream any song I didn't alread own. Have no problem streaming radio on my original home wifi, work wifi or work office wifi. Just the orbi wifi.
It's like apple no longer recognizes me as a subscriber (even though I am signed in with my apple ID)
Any suggestions?

What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the IP modem the Orbi is connected too?

The above is Greek to me. I have an ATT Uverse modem. I followed the directions to run an ethernet from ATT modem to Orbi.
Anything beyond that is above my paygrade. I got the Orbi because it was supposed to be fairly "plug and play."

Re: Can't play Apple Music on Orbi
It seems that you have the thing set up just fine. All your wifi devices can get out to the internet. So the problem may have nothing to do with the Orbi router.
Can you explain this bit?

How does this work? Stream from what to what?
What messages do you see, and where, when you try to make this happen?
Remember, most of the people here know about Netgear devices, but they are not likely to be experts in Apple radio. Is there a support forum for that that you can consult?

Modem Combo Units:
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router.
Sounds like you might ask someone local that has some tech experience to help you out with this...

Re: Can't play Apple Music on Orbi
Thanks for all the advice!
I ended up calling Netgear and it was a simple fix. To go along with this problem, websites were asking for a password. Apparently the username is admin and the password is your netgear password. I entered this into one website, it reconfigured the router (or something) and suddenly, magically, everything was working as expected.
