Scheduled Reboot - crond and cronjob
Hi, There is no option for a scheduled restart of the router through the Web Interface, although each router should have this option by default as a weekly restart of any router is almost require...
Mine seems to perform slow over wifi devices, drops out of simply doesn’t want to route traffic. It’s even worst when my kids play their pc games and the satellite takes higher priorities over clients as the pc is connected over Ethernet on one of the satellite.
I mainly use the Orbi(RBR50) as an AP, with 3x Satellite (2x RBS50, 1xRBV40), and my main router is an Asus RT-AC88U. Simply because the Asus has a better router management interface.
I just realised although I can schedule the reboot over a cronjob, the telnet and cronjobs are not static! I still need to enable telnet after the reboot, and need to re add the cronjob....

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ethernet switch in the configuration? or directly wired to the host router?
I presume all wifi is turned off on the main host router.
What other wifi devices do you have running?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
Above suggestions working:
