RBR50 Freezing after V2.7.3.22 Update
I've been using Orbi for several years now with very mixed results, but nothing a wired connection couldn't fix. The latest firmware update(V2.7.3.22) however has completely ruined my home network. ...
I ended up resolving this with an older firmware version, and then I used custom firmware to stop auto updates. It's perfect now but I'm changing to an RBR(S)750 setup, as I managed to get a good deal on a set.
I'll mark this as solved now. Thank you for the help to all that replied. Older firmware fixes the problem for anyone who finds this post via google. Whatever way you can come up with for staying at an older firmware is up to you. I would assume using another router to block the upgrade servers could work with little issue if you run orbi in AP mode. Avoid v2.7.3.22.
If you have a upstream router, you can block auto updates on Orbi.
