Share your Orbi 350, 750, 850 or 960 series system UpTime
Found on the routers and RBS IP address/debug.htm web page for best details, please post both RBR and RBS uptime. Please note of any inconsistencies between the RBR and RBS. Generally the RBR and RBS...
950 flashed with 960 firmware. I have had it about a year and a half. Had been working great up until about 4 months ago. I have 3 wired ( CAT 6A ) mesh satellites and about 120 clients. It is supposed to handle 200+. This may explain my high cpu usage. Lately it will not go a couple of days without it rebooting itself or becoming very unstable. Hoping they release an update to the firmware so I don't have to throw it out.
Do you have additional features enabled like Armor, Access Controls, Guest Network, IPv6, SPC, and Traffic Meter?
Might do a full on factory reset and set up from scratch and see if the CPU usage comes down. Thats too high. You may burn out the RBR. I'd get a cooling fan under the CBR unit.
Might test and reduce the amount of devices connected to see if CPU usage reduces.
What prior FW version was loaded on it?
Only guest network is active. I had 7.2.6.31 prior to this and did experience some problems with it. I went from the 950 firmware to the 960 firmware because I kept having issues with the 950 firmware. I will try a fan as you suggested. If it doesn't help then I will do the full reset as a last resort. With so many clients it is kind of a pain doing the full reset. Thanks you for the suggestions.
I would try disabling Guest Network temporarily to see if the CPU usage goes down.
