I rolled back to v1.2.06 so far two days. No issues. BTW I picked up the 3 pack from Costco. Now I have 3 routers in my house.

Mine ran all night on 1.2.0.06 without any problems. Then it upgraded to 1.3.0.26 on it's own and the problem came back.

Now it won't even run on 1.2.0.6 going back to 1.1.0.16 and see how that goes. :smileymad:

Now I am officially going crazy. Tried rolling back the firmware to 1.1.0.16 using the Firefox browser and the router refused to cooperate. It always acted strange during the update it would hangup. The only thing I could do is restart the browser and login again. Then it was showing the newest firmware not what I told it to do!
Tried using Chrome and everything worked as it should. Hoping the Orbi does not automatically update the firmware again.
