Reboots on Thursdays
FURRYe38
I have a RBRE950 which is doing the same thing... Reboots on Thursdays - every Thursday about 2PM (but sometime in the afternoon) (just got done with another round on a Tuesday)
...
Thanks for the note... All 5 Orbis (Router + 4 Satelites)are humming along just fine, and the router loses connection, flashes White and them all devices (including all satelites) lose connection (and also flash white)... I have Frontier Fiber as ISP with 1 GBps throughput. When I look at neighbors, I only have (1) network that shows up via my Iphone 14.
As for the Modem, It states that it is a "MGS-PON Ont"
Model: FOX222
The markings on the device only refer to Frontier... however my Google searches have lead to suggesting that this is a (CIG - Cambridge Industries Group) product.
I do have a Cat6 flat cable (more than happy to do a Cat 6a), however the regularity leads me to feel as if something is setup to restart on a (pseudo) schedule - How can 6.9 days of the week be flawless, and then randomly (not so randomly) can this happen ?
And - why hasn't Netgear released Firmware updates for the RBRE950, but they do so for the RBRE960?
Do you have Armor enabled or had Armor enabled at all?
The 950 and 960 series are both at the same FW level and seem to use same versioning.
We don't get information on when new FW comes out. Mfrs don't make that known. Just have to keep an eye on there download page or here in the forums.
FURRYe38 - Yes. I do have Armour enabled... As for the Wireless settings, here is what they are on:
2.4 Ghz - Auto
5 Ghz - 48
6 Ghz - 69
I do NOT have the IoT network enabled.
Disable the Armour ?? -
Thanks in advance for the reply & effort !
Yes please disable Armor using the Orbi app. After its been disabled thru the orbi app. Power OFF the RBR for 30 seconds then back ON.
FURRYe38 - Turned Armor off - No Thursday reboots... I'm going to leave it off to see how long we go without a reboot... Perhaps the Armor software is trying to refresh & crashing ?? There is a lot of crosstalk on these topics... I will circle back to see if this stops the problem & how to address the loss of Armor (if that seems to become the root problem)
