Orbi firmware v2.1.1.16 discussion
do we need to do nvram wipe for this 2.1.1.16 Firmware just released today? noticed it downloaded automatically.
Installed the v2.1.1.16 firmware this morning because the release notes said it would solve the problem of the satellite NOT listing the attached devices. Not only did this new firmware NOT fix the satellite problem, it seem to have effected the stabilty of my router. My router has rebooted itself twice in the span of four hours. However, in the interest of full disclosure, I did NOT do a factory reset on either the router or the satellite after I installed the v2.1.1.16 firmware. I did do a fresh reboot though.
I've actually gone back to v2.0.0.74 firmware to try and get my network stable again.
I had a similar problem, on the prior FW, tried factory reset and still had the system rebooting.
I found in another post where a user suggested disabling the UPnP server:
Advanced ==> Advanced Setup ==> UPnP => uncheck "Turn UPnP On"
After doing this, my system has been stable.
