I'm officially done with Orbi. Even with 4.6.7.5, the system becomes unstable after several days of use. Even ethernet connectivity became unreliable, as the ports would start only connecting at 100Mbps. I'm tired of having to consantly perform full resets to get things working again. I'm back to an Asus AiMesh system and it's working so much better.
The Orbi is heading to the electronic waste drop-off, as I refuse to sell a broken product to someone else. Hopefully the components and metal they get off the boards will be more useful than the system was as a router.

I'm kind of in the same boat so far with this version of firmware. I am still getting dropped connections off and on. Resetting the router helps, which makes me think it's some sort of memory leak in the fw. I turned off logging which someone else suggested and lowered my 2.4 power to 50%, but it didn't do anything. Someone else mentioned they could see memory usage on the router? I'll need to search in this forum for how to do that to see if I am experiencing the same. It's a shame I really love this router / satellite and it's an absolute beast with its range but these dropped connections are killing me. If anyone has any diagnostic suggestions, please let me know.
