An interesting development. Thanks for sharing. Although, I take exception to the theory that "a weekly restart of any router is almost required". My Orbi has remained on-line for over 100 days several times without problem. It would have gone longer, but I decided to mess around with firmware updates.

If a restart or reboot is needed frequenty, this means there is a problem with the Orbi system or the envrionment or configuration that the system is currently in. It would need to be investigated to see where the real problem is. Scheduled reboots are just covering up the real cause of the problem.
