I was ready to go get a velop when I thought I would give this firmware one last chance coming from 1.11.0 .20. this one had given me fits almost immediately after initially upgrading it the first time. I did a full system power cycle and then reset the satellite and router to default and set it up as a new system. So far it's stable for a few hours with zero reboots. The key will be what happens in the morning when I wake it up. That's what I've had reboots on the previous latest firmware.
For what it's worth I'm running Android 8.1, two Google home Minis and one Chromecast in addition to other wireless devices
Dad said nobody should have to jump through so many hoops. Most of us experienced a Plug and Play device when we first bought orbi and the firmware updates were seamless until the last few.
On the other hand researching other devices really showed me how ugly the orbi is. However I bought it for its power. But the black velop from Best Buy would certainly look nicer
