Orbi RBR850 crashes with large downloads
My kids and thier gaming require large downloads from battle.net and Epic games. These downloads are often greater than 100GB. When they start to download the router RBR850 loses its connection t...
My Orbi 750 is running Firmware Version V4.6.8.2_2.1.9. Support suggested turning off Armor and that stopped the crashing. Awaiting a real resolution since paying for Armor but having to have it disabled for a game to download from Steam shouldn't be the solution.
Same issue here. RBR750 v4. 6.3.7 CM1200. I thought it was an issue with a device that was connected. The Orbi would go solid purple and my wired and wireless connections would drop. A reboot of the Orbi would fix it for a few minutes. Eventually I would have no issue and it was unexplained. It wasn't until I attempted to download the Cold War 87GB patch on an additional wired PC and the Orvi went solid purple again that I realized it was the download crashing the Orbi. I had been downloading the patch on another wired PC earlier in the day when the issues were first occurring. I've never had this happen during any other download.
Thanks for helping to check this. I recommend both you and dwax open support tickets with NG support as soon as possible.
I'll try and pass this on to NG as well.

I'm doing a 18Gb new installation of Diablo 3 on my wired Windows 10x PC connected to the RBR850 w v223 beta loaded.
I installed the battlenet app first then logged into my account. Found that D3 wasn't installed but I can download it since I have the original install DVD as well. Downloading currently at over 200Mpbs.
I'll report back results...
NO crashes wtih RBR850 and 18Gb. Though maybe size was not large enough. I don't know. Seem that some of you are seeing this with larger sizes beyond 18Gb.
I supposed I can try removing CoD:MW from my xbox then have it re-install. I know thats a huge size now days.
Is this happening on both PC and game consoles?
