BUG: KERNEL CRASH in 9.13.1.2, Orbi 970
After being up about 28 hours, one of my 970 satellites did a restart. The bug log reports that the reason was a kernel crash.
It was at about 1:30 AM local time, so little or no action going o...
Update if anyone is curious:
The router has been RMAd. I'm waiting for the replacement unit to arrive.
My original router was mainly stable, with only 1 of 2 satellites. One satellite in particular was causing the router to restart frequently (I tried running the router and the satellite separately).
My final solution was: turn off one satellite that was causing issues, turn off logging, AND disable auto firmware update (according to gathered logs, this process crashes the router even if it doesn't have satellites). This stabilized the router, and its uptime is now 6+ days (the longest I've ever seen).
Summary: Some satellites are better than others, and the firmware auto update is faulty. There is probably something else.
I ended up moving Orbis to my shed and buying extra Ubiquity APs for my house (they are not as fast, but at least they work with caveats - Ubiquity MLO and 6ghz is buggy, while Orbis was excellent).
Thanks for letting us know the progres and the feedback.
I generally prefer manual FW updates and disable Auto updates.
