Has anyone that installed this able to report if this addresses the issue?
I installed it the day it was released, and it's been working great for me. However, I've never had any issues with random reboots in the past either.
I've been on .16 for a few days without any reboots/weirdness. On thing to keep in mind: the grass is not always greener. I have a 4500 sq ft house with over 100 nodes...have been through Google Wifi and Velop. Orbis is best so far, even with glitches.
- I suspect many of the issues are client related. One way to try is to shut down groups of devices from connecting and slowly add more in, see if you can narrow it down. An example of this is that pixel 2 devices and Android 8.x devices are being reported rebooting routers. Mine was an issue as well
