Orbi 960 Crashes During High Speed Downloads Over Ethernet
I have the exact same issue, if i'm downloading and speeds reach over 800mbps, my Orbi RBRE960 restarts every single time. It doesn't matter what game client I use, Steam, Blizzard, etc.
Contacted support and was walked through the exact same nonesense, the problem persist.
I was previously using an Asus Rog Rapture GT-AX11000, never experience this problem.
Re: Orbi 960 Crashes During High Speed Downloads Over Ethernet
What Firmware version is currently loaded? What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.

Hey
Windows 11 Pro, Desktop, Rog Maximus XI Formula, i9-9900K, Dominator 32GB, RTX-2080Ti, Samsung 970 PRO 512GB M.2.
Game clients or downloading a specific game does not factor into replicating the restart, it restarts multiple times while downloading games "when sustaining high speed downloads over 70MBs" from the following clients until the downloads are completed.
I have already spoken with tech support, getting a new unit RMA, don't think it will resolve the issue but we will see. To REITERATE, It ONLY restarts when I'm sustaining high speed downloads over 70MBs, sometimes it lets the download peak over 100MB, but then it will restart multiple times until the download is completed. I've not experienced this problem while I'm on zoom, streaming on PC, TV, tablet, phone, 4 Ring cam, 1 doorbell.

Just to point out again from the original comment, I've had been using Asus Rog Rapture GT-AX11000 and have never had an experience of the router powering down on its own as explained. I also had the ASUS AiProtection enable, which is simmilar to Obi's Armor.
Re: Orbi 960 Crashes During High Speed Downloads Over Ethernet
SIGH....
So, after disabling Armor and restarting the Orbi, I downloaded 2 difference games from 2 different clients multiple times, both over 80GB sizes (downloads peaking at 117MBs), the router did not restart on its own. I also noticed that the router and satelites were running a lot cooler.
Performed the same task with Armor re-enabled, and the router restarted multiple times during the duration of the downloads, and at idle I notice the router/satelite getting warm.
Why would running Armor cause the router/satelites to run warm, and cause it to restart when dowloading at high speeds? I would prefer the additional security on my network, but not at the expense of my nextwork going down. I never had this problem with Asus Rog Rapture GT-AX11000 with AiProtection enabled.
