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, s...
when you say pushed to you......is that where you used the app and clicked something?
how old is your modem?
Yeah the update notifications you get through the orbi app every now and again.
Modem is brand new (3 weeks old) as i needed a new one to support the fibre install.

Those are NOT considered pushed. Those are simply available, it's up to the user to perform a manual. Some of these FWs are NOT exactly ready for prime time.
You may want to revert your FW back to the version you were on before all of this started. Go to downloads.
After you get your network stablized, stop performing manual updates unless you want to live on the edge.
Ah so you would assume that if a new update is available to install it was safe to install
going to rock the new FW for a few days and see how it goes.
thanks for your input

yeah you would think so, but i've been living this NG FW fiasco for years and it's now pretty much evolved to a 'user be aware' situation. This is after hords of folks complained about how real FW pushes fouled up their network and they wanted more control.
There are still some in this community who don't mind updating at every turn. The stats here will tell you there there is a high number of foul ups as opposed to those who have no problems, but as we know that could simply be that people don't ususally post success stories. It almost appears that those who jump on the update band wagon are actually joining the beta tester group. Just an observation.
Good luck and stay safe.
