This is not that i'm thinking, it is just that i'm sure 🙂

I got this router way before the Orbi without any issues.

As i said previously, other devices connected to the router do not have any issues.

If i maintain my own linux router, it is mainly because i know how networks and system works, i'm not playing here.

Never said you were playing. but when it comes to all in one mesh solutions having issues, simplifying to test things is recommended (the old KISS acronym). Many times we've seen managed switches cause issues on them and who knows what processes your linux router is running that could be similar to the managed switch issues we've seen on here. Its why its recommended to test. If you refuse, thats fine but its limits your troubleshooting and could be directly related.

I totally got it, i did not want to be rude.

Spanning tree is not running on the router side (I would like to, but the RBE971 keep sending bpdu...).

Theses are the only services running on router side.

- chrony for ntp sync

- cronie for cronjob

- dbus is IPC service message bus

- dhcpcd-eno1 is dhcp client on my fiber port

- dnsmasq is the dhcp server for the lan

- nanoklogd & socklog-unix is for local logging

- nftables is how i run my firewall

- nginx is a web server, reverse proxy

- ssh, cause i need it

- unbound is my local dns server

So nothing really fancy here.

Regarding troubleshooting, this is because i'm running linux that i'm able to troubleshoot.

And i cannot remove it, since my internet is provided through fiber, which is not available on the orbi 970.
