System has become horribly unreliable with multiple reboots daily. I tried complete pin-in resets and setup the router and Sats again, but the crashes continue. We don't have any Oreo devices on our network,
Sadly, I'm out of the return period on this device and Netgear support has been of no help.
I've been setting up corporate and home networks since the late 80s and the Orbi is the most unreliable router I've ever owned.
Update: Well, it appears that the Orbi can now spawn its own satellites. I took a look at the Attached Devices screen and somehow my son's Dell laptop is now considered a satellite. I've never seen that before.
