Known Issues. Orbi Firmware V 2.1.4.10 update
Known Issue:
This one is published in the release notes for the 2.1.4.10 update
When user has two or more Orbi satellites connected to Orbi router using Ethernet backhaul connection, an Orbi sa...
Hi,
Is there any news about a firmware that works without rebooting every days !!?
My router (auto updated with V2.1.4.10) reboot every 10-15h, without reason... i've never got uptime more than 1 day (2-3 days with old firmware, but reboot after).
Im in AP mode.
Strange thing, i've connected the satellite directly to internet (via wire to my modem) and it seems to be self-sufficient, alone, unattached.
It's logical and maybe not recommended but it work great since 27 days ! (kept with V2.1.1.12 )
Is the satellite can works alone or it is connected to the router and i don't see this link ?
Why the router can't work so long !? maybe because it's not the same device that are connected ?
I think i will invert the position of router/satellite to see if the satellite reboot like the router...
Seriously, i don't understand why you can't do a firmware that works with every device ! my old router did it !
Whats the Mfr and model# of this ISP modem? Built in router here by chance?
Any wifi nieghbors near by? If so, how many?

i don't know the manufacturer, it's from my provider (In France) named SFR, and yes there is a router inside (and never reboots :-) ).
I've tried something, if the router is turned off , the Satellite still works , at least for local network, don't remember if internet was ok in this case.
Why wifi of neighbors could reboot the router !? (i have none )
Need to do one of the following with your ISP modem:
1. Bridge the modem so the Orbi router is the only router on the line. Disable any wifi radios on the modem.
2. If the modem can't be bridged, use the modems DMZ for the Orbi router if you want to use the Orbi router in router mode. Disable any wifi radios on the modem.
3. Keep the modem/router combo in router mode and configure the Orbi router in AP mode. Disable any wifi radios on the modem.
Sometimes other wifi nieghbors can interfere with the Orbi routers wifi thus causing it to reboot to find another channel to use.
Try setting manual channel on 2.4ghz to 1, 6, 11 or 13 and any unused channel on 5Ghz.

So, i've just swapped position of router and satellite.
The Satellite manage all the device that the router did before, and it works great (like before) (in AP mode, firmware V2.1.1.12 , connected directly to main modem router via wire, uptime 02:17:52:33). Satellite OK.
The router manage the device that and satellite did before, and it reboot again every day (in AP mode, firmware V2.1.4.10 , connected directly to main modem router via wire, uptime 13:58:07, reboot many times). Router KO.
Maybe next test, i will change ssid of router wifi so none device can connect to, to see if it's because of some device.
For me, the router have a problem, the satellite works great.
Why the attached device of the orbi router show all the device from my main modem-router ? it's a bug ?
these devices are not attached to the orbi, they are attached (wired) to my modem !
