Orbi RBR50 rebootnig problem FW V1.12.0.18

First time I must say that I am dissapointed with Netgear product 😞

Orbi RBR50 keeps rebootnig at random times, works very unstable - have on both main and satelitte latests FW - 

Speed and stability was alway an isseu ever since I bought that Orbi system...

Hello Jaroslaw

 

Have you tried to factory reset the unit since the upgrade to 1.12.0.18?

Factory reset won't help... some of us have done it numerous times.  1.11 and 1.12 are just unstable.

Hello skrymir

 

How often is the unit rebooting? does it happen when you are trying to do something specific on the net?

Sorry was away for a bit. Yes I did factory reset. Rebooting usually happens when I use apple TV playing movies from ITunes or using Infuse (Kodi like) to play the movies from my local NAS. Another situation when I download something from Internet using Internet Download Manager.

But sometimes Satellite disconnects without any obvious reason…

How often? Hmm few times a week I would say - I work so I can observe it more during weekends.

We found a issue with the satellites that will be fixed in the next firmware but do you happen to have any special charters or spaces in your wireless password its a know bug that is causing the satellites some issues?

Yes, unfortunately having "smart neighbours" requires from me strong passwords with special characters like “!@#$%^&*” and numbers - no spaces.
