Orbi RBR850 crashes with large downloads

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.
Wanna try this?

When they start to download the router RBR850 loses its connection to the internt. This will occur at 5GHz, 2.4Gz or wired.
I have COX internet with Gigablast
When this occurs I can be logged into the CM1200 cable modem and see that it does not lose any internet conenction. My internet connection with COX is working fine.
Any ideas on what might be going on?
The router has issues, and i was not able to correct with tech support. They wanted me to update the same ROM version and reset all settings but that does not work.
i hated to waste the $$ of the 3 node system that i purchased, ~$900 however i went back to Eero Pro 6 with 4 nodes, and i am getting the reliability and thruput
with my Orbi and my ipad next to the router i was never able to get more then 400mbs /sec, and my imac was not able to get more then 500mbs/sec
with the eero pro 6 in the same spot
i just ran speed test and my ipad resulted in 658mb/sec and my imac 868mb/sec
also, the eero ios app is way better
the Orbi did have better distance range outside..
I'll be testing this FW version out myself on my 8 series.
Currently downloading a 100Gb BattleField 2042 free weekend game...
I see CoD Vanguard is free for the weekend as well. Will try this too.
So both BattleField 2042 and CoD Vanguard downloaded with out crashing my 850. 850 is connected to my CAX80 multi-gig port which the CAX80 is in modem only mode.
850 still up and running currently.
Wondering if there maybe a multi-gig port issue on the 850 or something else happening that I'm not seeing...
