Geting 500 Internal Server Error from Access Control
Can't access internet from one Lap top. When I go to Access Control to see if it's blocked I get "500 Internal Server Error"
I've tried that once, before upgrading to latest firmware and it didn't work.
For some reason, after update, I'm not able to enter access control that often. I did manage to get a look at /debug.htm page and it looks like the CPU is at 100% all the time.
I think that is the main reason that I can't get to access control but I don't know what to do. I'm thinking to downgrade maybe?
1) I thought v70 is only for US region. I am not in US. Is it safe to try it even though I am not in US?
2) I've already downgraded to 2.3.0.32 and no luck. The more I try the more I feel like the firmware is not the issue but rather the kernel below is the issue (Linux or whatever it is). Any idea on how to get a ssh into the router?

I would not use v70 if you outside of the US Region.

I would have loaded v16 on the system and then factory reset and setup from scratch. Do not enable Armor or Circle.
v16 was a good solid fw version. Ran well for my RBK50. It's on on v70 however I'm in the USA.
You can try Voxels FW for Orbi:

You can revert back to stock FW if it doesn't work out for you.Good luck.
- I don't believe the issue is related to firmware. I'm getting a lot of errors like this: read error: Input/output error.
I believe a fsck would be needed l, but i don't know yet how to do that. Or maybe writing something that is not used where the memory is corrupted and somehow force orbi to load from other place where the memory is not corrupted. Any ideas how to do that?
