- Fixes the Dropcam disconnection issue.
- Fixes the convergence issue when an Ethernet connected device moves from one Orbi to another.
- Fixes the issue where the Orbi app can’t find the Orbi router if the router is using IPv6 and is in AP mode.
- Fixes the issue where the Orbi app can’t display more than 20 connected devices.
- Fixes the issue where the installation assistant might not display if the device is connected to the Orbi network wirelessly.
- Fixes the issue where the 2.4 GHz backhaul setting is disabled if the fronthaul MU-MIMO and TxBF is disabled.

If the issue was memory corruption, the Orbi wouldn't have specific, reproducible issues, it likely wouldn't function at all.
I've been developing software for over 20 years, including controllers for aerial and submersible drones and other embedded systems. Memory doesn't just randomly corrupt in the way you're suggesting and there are ways of ensuring software updates are applied as intended.
This has nothing to do with enterprise vs consumer hardware, it's a software quality assurance issue and it shouldn't happen.
I agree with your point about how I use a router, that's why I mentioned that I don't do anything exotic.
By the way, I've worked for 45 years with computer software development and hardware, mostly on the enterprise end in OS design work and release engineering. HP, EMC, Intel, etc. I can't agree with you on your "memory corruption is only a software issue" point, that isn't my experience with flashing routers. So it goes.
No more from me on this one.
Oof, you know the conversation has ended when people start comparing how long they’ve been in a relevant field. Let’s bring it down a notch, fellas. Clearly, some people are having problems and others are not. Clearly, some people are having mostly positive experiences. Both are possible, these are not usually exclusive. I never mentioned the word enterprise, but I won’t get into my own counter argument. Let’s get back on track, shall we?
