In my opinion v4.6.6.11 with CTS/RTS enabled (i.e < max value) seems to be the most solid combination when it comes to satellite stability.
I was given a debug version a couple of months ago but honestly haven’t had a single instance of satellite drop out / reboot since.
I agree, 4.6.6.11 has been rock solid for me. The only question I have is about the memory usage....seems to be always using more and more. It started out using about 300MB and has grown about 10MB a day. I'm not sure if its something I need to be concerned about.
Where does this monitoring screen come from?

You can use this if your Orbi is in Router mode: http://orbilogin.com/debug.htm

Memory usage on my Orbi in AP mode continues to climb. Now up to 611MB out of 874MB and rising by about 10MB a day. Uptime of 22 days. I've tried clearing the log and it's made no difference. Memory usage on the satellites is stable at around 320MB.
Assuming it's likely to crash when it runs out of memory, it looks like this firmware may have a maximum uptime of around a month before it requires a manual reboot. I'll probably reboot it manually soon before it gets to that point. Not the biggest problem in the world, but worth noting if you're collecting feedback FURRYe38.

Just as a follow up I'm up to 563mb memory used so it went up 147mb in almost a week or 21mb/per day...

To cdp1276 and anyone monitoring the Memory Usage on the debug page, if you notice this value slowly creeping up in value, check your IPv6 settings on the RBR. If it's enabled, disable IPv6 then monitor for a couple of days and please post your findings.
There maybe a IPv6 issue here that we'd like to check on. Wondering if IPv6 is enabled, could this be causing memory usage value to creep.

My Orbi is running in AP mode so the IPV6 settings are all greyed out in the Advanced menu. My ISP doesn't support IPv6 in any event.
I'm still seeing the memory creep issue, on the RBR but not the RBS. Memory usage sits at about 340MB immediately following a reboot then rises by around 10MB each day. All logs are disabled.
