I'm also having random reboots since the 2.1.1.16 update. 

 

I found this article while browsing Reddit.  What are your thoughts on this?

All I can say is that I'm running Oreo (8.0) on my OnePlus3. I installed the Orbi system about 24 hours ago and upgraded to v2.1.1.16. After futzing around with a router I used as a switch and having some connectivity issues, I replaced the router with a Gb switch, disabled UPnP, enabled MU-MIMO and beamforming as well as fast routing. 

 

The debug page shows I've been up for 13+ hours now. I've not noticed any reboots other than the ones I forced. AFAIK, the system is running normally on 2.1.1.16 for me. So far.

I have 27 devices connected to the network, including Android, Apple, and Windows based products.  None of my Android devices are running Oreo.

Four days ago I did factory resets on router and satellite and manually loaded 2.1.1.16. Disabled UPnP, but did not enable any "advanced features".  Stability is much better than before the factory reset and reload, but on average I still get random self-reboots on both the router and the satellite.  I have had uptimes of more than one day, but never more than a day and a half.  Also had self-reboots in as little as four hours.

This morning right before the router self-rebooted, I was looking at the uptime via debug and I noticed that the CPU utilization was around 75%.  This seems very high for a router where no one was using any connected devices except me and I was just reading email.  A few minutes later, the router self-rebooted.  So frustrating.
