    Thanks for responding to my cry for help...

    Turns out that one of my Araknis Switch (snap av) with OVRC (cluod management) was the culprit in this setup...

    I attached a OVRC Wattbox cloud power controller to this switch and the switch got corrupted and all hell broke loose.

    After the weekend of troubleshooting I took the switch of my network and all is stable.

    I did roll back the firmware to October Version and let the firmware there..

    So problem solved - it was not the ORBI but the Switch,

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.

Worked with Netgear tech support - first hard reset the router but no luck.

I then rolled back to one previous version firmware but problem persists.

Netgear told me to observe 24 hours and then discuss - the router is out of warranty...

Will appreciate any help on how to solve this issue..
