If this is the same 9.11.0.1 as the beta version that Straq made available to folks by DM, then I need to report that this beta works better for 2-3 days, but my whole network goes down about every 4 days, requiring a manual power cycle of the Router. When it goes down, the Orbi admin pages cannot be accessed even when my computer is connected via Cat6A cable to the primary router.
Straq is aware of this and has a picture of my network map.
My satellites are wired at 10g speeds using XS508M switches and CAT 6A cable. Straq has the team doing internal testing to see if they can reproduce this issue with a similar network map.
I have reverted to the previous “stable” release to see if the issue now occurs with it. It hadn’t previously. We can’t have our whole network going offline every 4 days.
Is anyone seeing this issue?

Can you test with out the XS series switch in the mix to see if the problem continues while v9.11.0.1.
Connect the RBS directly to the back of the RBR or connected them wirelessly.
One issue I found with my 970 series is that if a managed switch was in the mix with the RBS connected behind this switch, Guest Network was not accessible and not working to connect anything too. I moved the managed switch and GN started working. I also have a XS505M and a GS110MX non managed switches and haven't seen any issues while using these switches in the middle.
Had a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed to see if this stopped the network from going down while this version of FW was loaded?
- The XS508M that I have is an unmanaged switch. Unfortunately, too many important components of our home are hardwired through the switches, so I am not willing to remove them from the network.
I also am not willing to factory restore. I have too many assigned IP addresses and port forwards in place, and my life is too busy right now. Additionally, the problem never occurred on the previous version of the firmware. As I said, I am working with Straq directly on this. He is duplicating my network in a test environment to the best of his ability.
I will say, it is rather mind-boggling to me that this 10g LAN product was released without being tested on one of Netgear’s primary 10g switches. I am not happy to have paid so much money to be a beta tester. I am away too much with my job, and my family at the very least needs a stable network while I am gone.Ok. FYI, there has been some testing on NG switch with this system. So there has been testing. My Switches were also tested as well.
Hopefully NG can figure out what is happening on yours.
