RBK40 - Orbi rebooting at specific times throughout the day
Hey guys, I've been having issues with my Orbi system for awhile now and been trying to find fixes but nothing has worked. My router and satellite will reboot everyday at 9:46pm on the dot. I found a thread about a Beta 2.1.2 manual firmware update but when I followed the links to download the files, I get to a page that asks for a file code. And when trying to input a file code, it says it no longer exists. Anyone know where I can find these files? Or any tips on how to fix my issue? Thanks!

What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try disabling the following and see:
MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).Furry I've posted a thread before and got the same exact response you just posted. I tried the things you recommended with no success. If you read my OP, I found what seemed to be a good solution but the download page is no longer there. Any information on that ?
Hello rDozer,
The 2.1.2 is a previous beta firmware for the RBK50. If I'm not mistaken you have an RBK40, correct? Would you mind telling us what FW your Orbi's are currently on?
