Orbi 960 Crashes During High Speed Downloads Over Ethernet
I have the exact same issue, if i'm downloading and speeds reach over 800mbps, my Orbi RBRE960 restarts every single time. It doesn't matter what game client I use, Steam, Blizzard, etc.

Hey,
Yes to Armor, no to SPC or Traffic Meter.

Please DISABLE Armor via the Orbi app, then after its disabled, power OFF the RBR for 1 minute then back on then check downloads again thru the RBR.

SIGH....
So, after disabling Armor and restarting the Orbi, I downloaded 2 difference games from 2 different clients multiple times, both over 80GB sizes (downloads peaking at 117MBs), the router did not restart on its own. I also noticed that the router and satelites were running a lot cooler.
Performed the same task with Armor re-enabled, and the router restarted multiple times during the duration of the downloads, and at idle I notice the router/satelite getting warm.
Why would running Armor cause the router/satelites to run warm, and cause it to restart when dowloading at high speeds? I would prefer the additional security on my network, but not at the expense of my nextwork going down. I never had this problem with Asus Rog Rapture GT-AX11000 with AiProtection enabled.
