WAX610Y INSIGHT ALERT: DEVICE OFFLINE-Channel Utilization went high ch1/Reboot reason: Crash
We just upgraded / replaced Orbi to these business WAX610 APs. We have NETGEAR WAX610 (qty4) and WAX610Y (qty 1) WiFi 6 Access Points at this location. This issue seems to have happend on the outdoor unit after the upgrade to FW 9.1.0.16 (latest) and I didn't have these notifications for the few days this AP was operational before the FW new release. The four indoor WAX610 same FW do not have this issue or random rebooting.
