CBR40 Lags/Freezes/Stalls
About 3 times a week, my CBR40 will stop passing traffic and becomes unresponsive to all devices (wired & wireless).
Sometimes I can reboot the router/modem from the Orbi iOS app, other times I...
Looks like firmware 2.1.4.6_1.0.8 was installed on my CBR40 today.
I have a Spectrum technician scheduled for a service call later today.
Im home all week so I will be hitting my Orbi network hard (streaming, gaming, etc). Ill confirm stability, etc and submit logs as needed.
Thank you!
The last 24 hours have been smooth sailing for me. Here's a break-down of the changes made in my home environment in the last day:
- A Spectrum technician resolved some physical cabling issues at my coaxial 'home run' from the Spectrum demarkcation to my Orbi CBR40. DB Signals were adjust by Spectrum and cable was re-terminated etc. This is a brand-new home and apparently there were some issues with the way the coaxial cable was ran in my walls, which caused some bending/twisiitng and caused microreflections.
- Spectrum was notified that my modem is a CBR40 (i.e.; changed from a NETGEAR CM700 before the CBR40 "officailly" supported). Not sure what was changed on the back-end to accomodate this change. For the last few weeks the CBR40 was not on Spectrum's "approved" list.
-Firmware 2.1.4.6_1.0.8 was downloaded and installed on my CBR40. This is the first firmware patch for the CBR40.
I did lots of testing...
I did a lot of testing with streaming 1080P and 4K content, played various online multi-player games on (2) Xbox One consoles (Far Cry 5, Ghost Recon Wildlands, GTA5, Assassian's Creed)
Configured and controlled a bunch of HomeKit IOT devices. Lights, plugs, cameras etc.
Pushed various types of content to (2) AppleTVs over AirPlay (mDNS, Bonjour, etc)
Downloaded and installed faily large macOS patches to desktops and laptops.
Various speed tests from wired and wireless devices.
(typically I could force my router to stall, reboot etc if I pushed hard enough (or waited long enough). So far it has been rock solid!
got it. thanks for update.
Been a week and it looks like I'm good to go after firmware 2.1.4.6_1.0.8 was installed. This is the longest, most stable run I have had since installing my CBK40 system. Happy camper.
