Regarding the router functionality of the Orbi, do I still have the capability to do port forwards, custom DNS, etc? Also, any issues with accessing wired devices from a wireless device?
The Orbi RBK30 is 2x2. That is a nightmare for backhaul and you will see poor performance if you have several devices that use the 5ghz channel at once.

In my opinion getting this system would be a mistake.
