    The changes that apparently fixed my connection issue...

     

    In orbilogin.com, Advanced Wireless Settings both 2.4GHz and 5GHz changed CTS/RTS Threshold to 2307.

     

    In orbilogin.com, Advanced WAN Setup changed MTU Size(in bytes) to 1492.

     

    Powered down the Orbi.  Powered down the cable modem.  Restarted both.
