Hello,

I have the RBK53 router + two sattellites. Satellite in Wifi backhaul (Daisy chain disabled, I don't need it). Everything is working as expected, but when my PC (wired Ethernet on the satellite) is turned on, the Satellite looses the Internet connection randomly. Sometimes several times a day. I have to reboot it to make it work.

When Internet is lost, I still have network and local IPs (I can see all other computers and even access the router on 192.168.1.1 from my "no internet" PC. And the UI tells me everything is good). But Internet stops suddenly and all devices on this satellite loose at the same time (Wifi or wired).

I tried to switch the two satellites (in case of a hardware issue), and this is always the satellite wired on my PC that crashes (the other one at the opposite of the house still work, even over the wire, it's easy to test since I have a Arlo plugged on it, so I just have to see my camera to confirm that satelite didn't loose Internet).

I tried to understand why my PC is changin anything. I disabled my VPN to work, but didn't change anything. I have "fake" Ethernet card created by Docker, but didn't try yet to uninstall Docker to test it... I'm on Windows 10 Pro with a ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-E motherboard.

I tried to play with all MIMO and configuration stuff I could find, but didn't change anything.

I saw some posts about that Google client (Google Home) could make Orbi crash, so I know it's possible that a client makes the Orbi crashes.... Before I saw that post, I'd never thought a client could make the router crash....

Thoughts?
