What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT 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 or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Is Armor, Circle or Traffic Meter enabled?

Thanks for the suggestions:
Have about 3800 sqft. My satellites are on different floors from the main router and are more than 30 ft apart.
I do have traffic meter turned on. Amor and Circle are not turned on.
I'm currently with ATT Fiber using the Arris BGW210-700. I just changed from Spectrum Cable Internet to ATT 3 weeks ago. I had the same issues with Spectrum. I was hoping that maybe something with Spectrum was crashing my Orbi, but now it appears it's just the Orbi.
I've turned off the traffic meter and have changed the settings on the other link. If it crashes again, I'll try the v2.7.3.23. Wonder why they never released this version officially?
