Orbi RBR40 Random Reboots at Night w/Streaming
My Orbi / RBR40 router only recently (within the last month) started rebooting itself periodically, and appears to do so only while streaming TV (mostly Apple TV, but once on Amazon Firestick) at nig...
If you feel this is a temp issue, one can install a laptop cooler fan under the RBR for some additional forced air cooling. Something I do for any of my routers I put online. Works well.
Thanks for the suggestion! I don't necessarily think it is a temperature issue, because my office where it is running is now +/- 68 degrees, and I never had any problems during the summer months before, but those are the 3x things I typically look for when diagnosting device instability and reboots: Memory Usage, CPU Usage, and Temperature.
The BR500 VPN router that I also own from Netgear displays temperature within the Admin GUI (in addition to memory and CPU), so I was hoping that might be available from the RBR40.
[And I may also still have memories of having to point an external fan on an old FVS318G to keep it from hanging during the summer months ... metal case and no air holes!]
