Already did a factory reset. I was using whatever the last stable 2.0 firmware was. With all the **bleep**ing around i've had to do with this piece of **bleep** i'm thinking of grabbing an old Cisco ASA5505 from work and using the Orbis strictly in AP mode.
Can let us know if that resolves your issue. Or revert back to last working version of FW.
