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.
Orbi Firmware: V4.6.3.16_2.0.51

Just a few thoughts:
I'm not sure the upstream device has much to do with this, as Orbi goes completely offline. The internal side drops, and you are unable to access the web UI when the DoS happens. Based on the testing I've performed, the high rate transfers that I get off the Blizzard app when connected to Ethernet seems to cause an almost immediate DoS. I do wonder about the Blizzard app, though. That seems to be an odd common thread. I wonder if it doing some kind of multi-point connection that is killing the router network stack?
Try the Epic Games app also. Same issue. Moving it to WiFi did fix the issue. But that wasn't a suitable workaround for me and I ditched the Orbi.
I ditched the Orbi as well - back to Erro
