Orbi router keeps going offline and rebooting

The orbi router keeps going offline and rebooting several times a day. I see this has happened before. I had no issues until the firmware was updated.

Re: Orbi router keeps going offline and rebooting

What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Power OFF the ISP modem and RBR for 30 seconds, then power back on the ISP modem and let it sync then power ON the RBR. 


What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router

 

What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

 

Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

 

Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
