I've confirmed a few things.  If I factory reset it, and it comes up with the ORBI02 SSID, it is fine, and I can connect to it from my laptop.  If I change it to something else, it is fine.  But as soon as I change it to the SSIS that it has been for 5 years and all of my devices connect to, then the RBR50 crashes as soon as it comes up and goes into a booting loop.  Most recent devices I can think I added are some cameras, so I'll try turning most devices off and adding them one at a time.  However, when Orbi is down, I'm changing my T-Mobile router to that SSID and all the devices connect to it just fine.  So, even if it is a particular device, this should NOT be crashing ORBI.
