ORBI RBR50 crashing
Hello everyone,
I've bought an ORBI RBR50 a couple of months ago and for some reason after the latest update (V2.5.1.8) the router crashes every second day or so....
I've did an reset on the satellite as I was reading this forum and this was a suggestion....now I'm thinking of downgrading to the previous version -> 2.3.5.30
Anyone else having this kind of issues ? If yes, any fix available ? Ideas?
Thank you!

It's true 2.5.1.8 is a mess
revert back now and stop performing manual updates

Did you reset the router as well? If not, try this on the RBR...
You can try Voxels FW for Orbi:

You can revert back to stock FW if it doesn't work out for you.
