I’m on the latest firmware, even tried 2 revisions older and also tried Advanced Tomato firmware. Nothing helps or fixes this issue. Don’t have any problems while using the trashy arris.
Other than Facebook and Instagram not loading at times, Speedtests are phenomenal and don’t have any other issues at all.
Tried with WMM off/QoS on, QoS off/WMM off, QoS on/WMM on, and QoS off/WMM on. Nothing is helping.
Note: All devices are on 5ghz band
Model: R7000|Nighthawk AC1900 Dual Band WiFi Router
Had the same problem with my Netgear orbi wifi. By connecting to another wifi and then going to Instagram on that different wifi and then going back to the Netgear orbi Instagram worked again.
I have an Orbi/ Satellite combo and have been having similar problems. Most everything was fine but Facebook wouldn't load images. Switching to cellular data solved all problems. The solution that worked for me was to log into my router and manually reinstall the current firmware (downloaded from netgear's site) for the router and then the satellite. It hasn't been up very long, but as of now all Facebook-related issues (ok, the ones regarding loading:) have been resolved.
Update solution only lasted a few hours... same with disabling ipv6 filtering. I’m using gigabit fios and think the next step will be to try Verizon’s rental router:(
Whats the Mfr and model # of the FIOS modem/ONT your using? Built in router here by chance? If so,
Couple of options, 1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. 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, LAN to LAN and configure AP mode on the Orbi router.

I have the same problem. Well it's one of the many I have. It's bizarre because I get a notification but when I open the app it won't be there until I disconnect the WiFi. Am UK based on Virgin Media. Single router setup. Satellite makes my problems 100 times worse.
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the Orbi is connected too? Built in router here by chance?
What devices are you having problems with?
Wireless or wired connections? Both?
What FW version are you using?

Virgin's modem/routers are well known for being flaky in the UK (hence the Orbi, used to be a ASUS RT-AC66U but it's Qos was limited to 100mbps and it didn't have the range), so I put it in 'MODEM' mode which does exaclty what it sounds like and have attached the ORBI to that. So that is 1 I think.
TBH I don't see why I should have to do 2 or 3 bacuse it should just work. I may try 2 at the weekend when noone is around as it seems like it will take the least configuring.
The options are there for you to review that try out. Having a ISP modem/ONT with built in router can cause problems. So the suggestions are solutions to try. It's up to you to see which one works the best.

It should and understand the frustration. I think it would be easiest for you to use the ISP routers DMZ and input the IP address the Orbi router gets from the ISP modem into the modems DMZ. Set up a IP address reservation on the modem for the Orbi router. After this is done, reboot the modem and Orbi router and give it a go.
Under advance setting > internet setup clone the MAC address of your PC, this always happens to me from day one until I clone my MAC address from my MacBook and it works without a hiccup! Might not work for all but just add my help to the issue
