RBR850 rebooting multiple times/day
I am 16 months into the journey with the RBR850 and my manageable stability (1 spontaneous reboot of the RBR850/day) has moved to multiple, sometimes multiple per hour. I am running the current offic...

What actual firmware version you on? There's a few on the forums that are newer than the release version you could try.

Thanks Plemans,
I am currently on the last 'official' for my product (or at least where my auto updates take me) - namely V4.6.3.16_2.0.51
I have seen the discussion around v4.6.7.5 which i will try to get loaded today as GearHead support again seems to be very 'consumer'. Ran into an issue in teh small hours with the manual RBS upload dialog boxes (browser pop-ups) generating 'blank' when i selected the RBSs for manual upgrades. Will advise on the stability once i get all 3 decvices onto v4.6.7.5
best, JulianHa

I updated the FW on the RBR850 andf 2 RBS850 to V4.6.7.5_2.1.7
So a brief update after 22 hours. I've had two resets (one i witnessed) and one i saw from the overnight record. I think that is more stable, but not 'stable'.

What reset? The RBR or RBS?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Did you power OFF the ISP modem, RBR and RBS for 5 mniutes then back on after the FW update or did you do a full on factory reset?

Hi FURRYe38 Thanks for tresponding.
Yetsreday when i was there to see it the reset was teh RBR850. I say that as it went through the flashing white light start-up. The one overnight i can't say as i'm (possibly sadly) using a nest camera) as my proxy for netgear drops. If you have a more precise way of telling then feel free to direct me.
The path from cable entry is cat6 from Netgear CM1000 -> Linksys WRT3200ACM (as an ethernet pass through (no WiFi etc, flashed as ExpressVPN) -> RBR850. I have one Netgear GS105 L2 switches in the path
Typical number of devcies connected is c. 60-70 (per my IP scanner) and the RBR/RBS reports a number around 40 typically. Blend of wired and wireless. One RBS850 is ethernet backhaul and one is Wireless connected to the RBR. Both around 50' distant with 'good' connection status. House is about 3500sqft 2 level with good space to neightbours
The current set up variables are:
AX on 5GHz only
2.4GHX on 11, CTS 23475GHz on 48, CTS of 512
Guest network handling external devices from solar/batterySet to Router mode
Hope that helps. I have changed out PSu for the RBR and tried w and w/o the UPS providing power and that seems not to be cuasing the blips.
Thx in advance
