RBRE960 reboots itself daily
New RBKE963 system in service a couple of months. Recently, the RBRE960 router began rebooting on its own daily at about the same time of day. The reboots do not occur at precisely the same time, bu...
Thanks for your reply, FURRYe38,
Modem: Hitron EN2251 provided by Spectrum connected to Orbi with the Ethernet cable that came with the Orbi
In looking further back at logs, the Orbi has rebooted 12 times since first observed on August 25. Orbi front LED flashing white. Have never seen red.
In looking further back in logs, reboot times vary widely. Reboots seem to have occurred roughly every other day, with some variance. On only one day did the Orbi reboot twice; otherwise only once in a given 24 hour period.
Orbi configured with three separate bands as follows: IoT on 2.4G, computers and smart devices on 5G, and 6G for future smart devices.
2.4G is on channel 6; 5G on channel 40; 6G on channel 69. These channels were selected based on spectrum analysis of neighbors' Wi-Fi channel usage.
About 31 devices attached and active at any given time.
Home is about 2,500 SF and the remotes are approximately 30' from the base. However, the issue is that only the base reboots.

I would replace this cable with a CAT6A STP lan cable.

Can you turn OFF the IoT and the separate 6Ghz radio on the RBR?

Please turn off one RBS for now, leaving the other RBS on.
For that size of home, having two RBS deployed is too much:
