NAT loopback supported by Orbi?

Question

I'm currently a user of the eero mesh wi-fi system, and I've discovered that it doesn't support NAT loopback (in other words, from inside my home network, I cannot reach local resources by using an external address, such as a dyndns URL, but I can reach them just fine if I'm not connected to my home network). I'm looking at the Orbi system as a potential alternative, but I can't find any documentation that confirms whether or not NAT loopback is supported. Can anyone confirm this for me, one way or another?

Thanks in advance!

Unable to access local resources is a confirmed bug in latest FW. Will be fixed in next official firmware release.

DarrenM does this mean that you already confirmed this bug that I have encountered? https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Orbi-loosing-part-of-the-network-NOT-Internet/m-p/1298723#M8046

Darren, thanks for the response. Is there a timeline on the resolution for this bug, or could you update this thread when the fix is released? I'm eager to replace my wonky eero setup with Orbi, but I'm hesitant to commit to a puchase until I know that this is fixed.

NAT Loopback was working for me until the most recent firmware.
