I have been using Firefox. Netgear is replacing the router as well, supposed to arrive today, so will be setting up a new device. Will see if that helps. It's almost as if there is some scheduled task running that causes the disruption mid-morning, but don't know what it would be especially since I have disabled Circle.

Good Luck. I use Firefox (primarily) to administer my Orbi. When I'm looking at "strange things", I often try all four of my browsers to see if they behave differently (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera).
I understand that Disney Circle is attractive to parents. However, when setting up this new Orbi, I would (politely) opt out of both Armor and Circle during the initial setup. You can always go back in the future and activate them later if you want to.
