What FW are you using on the Orbi?
Did you try any of the suggestions?

Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz.
Try Setting WPA to Disable, then see if the Kindle connects, then set WPA and Auto, then try WPA2 and AES only.
Try disabling WMM temporarily as well.

Hello,
I don't know if it can help but here is the "trick" that worked for me
- go to the web interface > advanced > Wi-Fi
- deactivate the SSID broadcasting for the 5ghz network
- apply changes
- connect your kindle to the 2,4ghz network that shall now be recognized
- go back to the web interface of the orbit and deactivate the SAID diffusion.
- apply changes
It worked for me at least.
Have a nice one, Gui

Thanks for posting this. Hope this will be helpful.
What FW version are do you have loaded?
There is a check mark that you can temporarily disable the 5Ghz radio?
