What just happened? Out of nowhere, my Orbi RBK53 shut everything down, and rebooted to initial state, showing my only router as Orbi28 (NOT my system SSID, passwords etc.). At first, I thought that it must have been an auto-firmware update. But no- once up , it is the same ole 12...18 update that shows up. This, after going through the complete setup again. Now, I'm getting drops out the Wazoo (whereas I wasn't before with 12....18), even though I set everything to the original SSID and password. What the hell is going on? I'm about to take a sledgehammer to this system and replace it with ... well, anything would be an improvement . Same firmware version that was tolerable before , but now things have gone to hell . Very unhappy at the moment. Thanks to AT&T cellular, I can post this. Without, I'd be dead in the water.

I am sorry this happened to you, but this is EXACTLY what happened to me. After the disaster that was 1.11.x, I tested 1.12.16 and then upgraded to 1.12.18. For almost two weeks it was perfect, then, while replacing UPS's on the two sats and the router, I of course had to power them off and back on. Since powering back on. 1.12.18 has been a disaster, exactly as you describe. Something is flaky in this firmware, because from 1.10.x backwards everything was stable.
