Orbi keeps rebooting several times a day even with new firmware V2.5.1.16

I have been having the exact same issue with this firmware version. Orbi reboots 6-7 times a day. I have done factory reset and still nothing. Very frustrating.
If your unit is rebooting itself spontaneously, forget all the contortions and resetting and questioning your modem and house size. It's defective. It's what happened to me. There is a flaky component, one possibility is bad RAM, where memory data gets corrupted.
Once I got a replacement router, it's been solid...so far.
Lets see if this is a configuration or other wise first before claiming it's a HW issue. Trouble shooting needs to be done first. Not every unit is faulty.
- I have had the router for 3 years so definitely not a faulty hardware. I try tweaking the settings one at a time and so far changing 2.4ghz channel to 1 after factory reset helped. Over 24 hours with no reboot. Channels 6 & 11 did not help.
Thanks for the suggestions.Glad the suggestions helped.
Please mark your thread and solved so others will know.
