How often do you have to reboot your Orbi due to it acting weird/strange/odd?
I was trying to figure out why my LAN speed (copying files) was so slow (e.g., 11 mB/sec) through my updated Netgear Orbi RBK753S-100NAS (WiFi 6; AX4200; 12/8/2020)'s router via network cables between two over decade old PCs. Reboot fixed it.
A few months ago, my Internet stopped working but rebooting the router fixed it. So weird/odd.
What about the rest of you? Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AX product. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi AX and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

FYI I have the Orbi AX RBR850 system and never reboot it to fix problems for my home computers/phones/IoT devices. http://orbilogin.com/debug.htm says that my Orbi has been up for:

You should keep looking for tactics or settings to make your Orbi system more reliable. It unfortunately requires a bit of investigating and getting details when your device(s) are not behaving properly. Sometimes it has to do with the upstream Internet connection/IP your Orbi has with your Internet providers modem/gateway/router/etc. Double NAT may be complicating matters also.
