So.. Every single time orbi updates or restarts I lose all network connectivity. Preface some stuff here
I have an R7000 that is just a router doing its router thing. it goes CM1100 ->R7000 -> 16 Ubiquti POE Switch -> Orbi -> Orbi Sat plugged into ethernet port on Orbi.
Whenever Orbi does ANY kind of firmware update or I simply power them off and power them on my gateway for even all wired networks stops responding. If I go to the satilite it appears its trying to connect with a blue ring. Turning off the Satilite causes all network traffic to resume on the wired network. I can't understand why the satilite would cause all my gateway traffic to time out. Its almost like the sat is broadcasting new routes or actually is trying to use the same IP as the gateway causing IP conflicts. Anyways is there anyway to resolve this? I did this update this morning and now my satilite is down and I've not got time go through the crap of trying to get them to resync. It appears to ONLY do this with ethernet backhaul hooked up. If I do wireless backhaul I do not believe I get these problems.
