It's been 4 days now and all is still good.
To summarize (based on my observations):
- I added an AV rack, rack switch and wired backhaul to my basement, previously was on wireless with everything working fine
- Day after this new setup, entire network went down
- Two seperate issues were discovered:
- Four Sonos components were hard wired to the switch, the components don't automatically disable their wifi connection and apparently introduced a network loop
- My Sony Android TV when connected over ethernet tends to cause a type of network storm over UDP because of a bug in the Chromecast feature. This was corrected for the wifi adapter but not the ethernet adapter.
I'll report back if any issues come up but as of now, the Orbi seems to be more of a victim of these issues than a cause of the network failure.
Thanks so much for the update and for the thorough investigation. This confirms the theory that wired devices are first to check when you see strange behavior in Orbi.
