Orbi RBR50 nearly constant reboots
I've had this router for over a year now, and I've always had minor issues with it rebooting on it's own. The entire thing goes down, including my ethernet to my computer. But for the past few months...
You mention manually loading various firmware.
Have you done a "Factory Reset" after updating firmware?

CrimpOn Yeah sorry I forgot to type this up the second time after it rebooted again and I lost everything I wrote :\
Yep I've factory reset a few times. Even a 30-30-30 reset. Once it rebooted within minutes of the reset.
You can try Voxels FW for Orbi:

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

Thanks, I may try this if my next hail mary doesn't work. I'm gonna take it to my mother's this weekend. They have terrible coverage there, but importantly a different modem and ISP. If the issue is with my home setup, it'll definitely show there. For the time being I'm using old reliable (an TP-Link Archer C9) for my router, it's as stable as the Egyptian pyramids. I only switched to this because my new house is a 2 story 110 yr old with plaster and mesh and a shotgun style building so super long and narrow but only 1888 sqft. I can stomach an investment into a new modem if I need to. The old SB6141 was great but I think it has reached the max limits of my current broadband plan.
