ATTN RBR960 Orbi network users! Need a piece of info from you
HI all, we are trying to hunt down an anomaly that may be an issue and may not be - namely, that the 960 series of Orbi routers seems to regularly use more memory out of its 818MB than older Orbi sys...

Thank you for all your replies! As we research this further, I am going to make an educated guess on whether or not you have IPv6 enabled (or have the service from your ISP. Can you confirm whether or not you have IPv6?

I think it may be more than just IPv6 or not. I think it may be a combination of BootLoader and IPv6 enablement.
I do have IPv6 enabled (6to4) although not sure it is actually functional as I am double-natting the 960 right now.
But I also have BootLoad V5 instead of 6.
I'm sure we will find the combination at some point in time!
Good point TC, I bet you are right - IPv6 plus new ver 6 boot loader. I ran IPv6 for a long time on my 3 or 4 year old 850 series Orbi, and did not see this memory difference on the router.
- Yes, I have IPv6 enabled.
Note: If you have the router set to Auto, it may not configure IPv6 properly or at all. Try DHCP first.
