Orbi RBS50 reboots everyday
I have an Orbi mesh network... and it has this reboot problem - approximately every day it rebots. Recently I internet supplier upgraded their router and I hoped that would solve the problem ....
Just a small update...
On my ISP router I have enabled DMZ mode that points to the address of the Orbi (192.168.1.10)
On the Orbi I have set it up as a router - and it shares adresses in the family of 10.0.0.1 etc...
The system has now been running 6 days without a problem and without a reboot.
I have also enabled the wifi network on the ISP router (as a backup in case of problems) - and this does not appear to disturb anything.
On the ISP router I have also attached a computer on a fixed address (running linux) that I need to log into from outside - and this continued to work - I have also an internet telephone on the router of the ISP.
The key appears to be using a fixed address for the Orbi - and running the Orbi as a router.
Many thanks to FURRYe38 for their insight.
Sounds good. 👍

Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
