Logs Cleared on Restart - why?
Why are the logs on the Orbi being cleared on restarts? I am having some odd random restart problems - similar to this post: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-Wi-Fi-5-AC-and-Orbi-with/Orbi-rebo...

I don't know what to make of all this but I'm not upgrading the firmware on on these things anytime soon. And before anyone asks, yes, the installs were all clean, no restore was done, power down was performed. Only issue I ran into when going back to 6.3.7.5 was syncing the satellites back to the router but after doing a reset via the reset button on each satellite, the satellites did finally sync back up to the router.
Interesting to know. I wonder if I can revert to that firmware. I have never had any other firmware and whatever came from the factory got upgraded to the latest release during the setup and I don't recall having a choice about that.
I also have my 850 system. I could fall back to that for a week to monitor the situation and I may have to do that.

You can downgrade, just downgrade the RBS first before the RBR.
There should be a disable auto update check box I believe.
