Orbi RBR50v2 instability
Hey everyone
over the last few days my Orbi has stopped giving access to the internet at least 6-7 times.
Initially it was just my dekstop PC and I assumed it was maybe just a faulty cable, so i swapped that out and it happened again. Thought it was maybe a duff port but it happened again with another port and another wired device on the LAN lost connection too. Lastly 3 times yesterday the wifi connection dropped out entirely.
I've reboot the device numerous times over the last few days to try and resolve these issues, Made sure i was on the latest firmware (although I've just noticed 2.7.0.70 was released yesterday) but I'm now having to bypass the orbi all together and plug my PC directly into my BT hub which kinda defeats the purpose of having the Orbi.
device details:
RBR50v2
Firmware: v2.6.1.40

Hey....I would keep an eye on it.
Were you having problems with your network before the FW update?
