Orbi 970 - Crash after Speedtest
Dear Commuinity, In my RBE971 system with 1 satelllite with wireless backhaul, I have regular crashes /reboots of the RBE971 every 1-2 days. While I was testing the behaviour , I also saw...
I received today the replacement router RBE971 and configured as AP with my 1 existing satellite.
NG sent only the router and I used my existing power adapter (with new design and increased amperage)
I have executed intensively Speedtest via WebUI and Orbi iOS app. Until now I couldn’t crash the new router. See below consecutive Speedtest via app
Below some pictures that I took when 971 crashed during the Speedtest via Orbi App.
It shows 6Gbits and few seconds later it loose the connection with main modem (magenta light). Only a restart will help.
I was using the fan on the top of the router to test the difference with and without fan.
With fan usually 971 was able to run 10+ consecutive Speedtests.

Thanks for documenting with/without fan. A bit annoying that Netgear does not provide a method to display the internal temperature of the router.
