Hi, After my orbi performance dropped, I restarted the router hopping it will fix it. However it doesnt fully restart now. The power led is solid green and the ring is solid white for like 20 sec...

I'd be interested to see how you did it with the console because I've never fixed mine. But when I hit your link I get an 'invalid parameter' error

I found your thread with the search engine. Unfortunatly I don't have the same issue that you did, the model Id matches between my board and the firmware and the firmware can be flashed. It just doesn't boot correctly...

Sorry... looks like the editor messed up the link in the IURL somehow. If you cut and paste the displated text it works, but if you click on the link it has some bogus extra characters on the end.
If you have the router in the uboot console then there are a bunch of commands for testing various bits of hardware. And you can see much more of the logging when the system is booting, so perhaps you may see a relevant error message. But if the firrmware image looks to be correct then I dojn't know what else to suggest.
