RBR and RBS reboot
To eliminate potential bugs, I took it upon myself to do a factory reset, 90 minutes later the system is stable again, although the firmware has shown further bugs. 1. The factory reset on the RBR ha...
I am a bit confused by the change in user name (Cvv to Orbi2020pc) and router (RBK853 to RBR50v2).
And does the topic remain the system rebooting under load, or.......?
I have the original RBR50 (version 1) and iPerf3 out the WAN port is limited by my 11Mb Spectrum upload:

When doing iPerf3 between two desktop computers connected directly to the RBR50, I get this:Connecting to host 192.168.1.3, port 5201

Now I am even more confused. This post has only one Original Poster (OP) and no mention of RBR850 or iPerf3. Somehow my web browser has mangled different community forum threads together. (sigh)
If there has been a cable outage, it is probably a good idea to turn everything off (ISP modem, Orbi, satellites). Then restart the modem. wait for it to settle down. power up the router. wait until it turns blue. power up the satellites.
Maybe I accidentally hijacked the Rbr853 thread ...sorry. Mine is unstable Wifi RBR w/1RBS satellite
So lets start this again with the following:
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.
How many RBS are deployed?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR📡 and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.
https://kb.netgear.com/31029/Where-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite 🛰️Does this happen with the RBS turned OFF?
Does this happen with both wireless and wired devices?
What channel configurations are currently set on the router?
