RBR40 satellite keeps dropping

Hello,

 

 I bought an Orbi 3 set about 8 months ago and it was working fine for the first 6 months or so. The past few months my bedroom satellite keeps dropping off every night (Seems to do fine during the day). From about 6pm to 11pm I get constant drops, where I have to do a hard reset on the satellite to get it back  up.  I have tried looking at forums, but have never found any good solid advice on how to fix. I have tried disabling 20/40 coexistence, enabling Mu-Mimo, disabling daisy-chain tech,  and doing a factory reset. None worked.  I am no tech expert, so any help would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Other details:

Firmware - V2.0.0.56 (on all)

Satellite is approx 25 ft from main router (1 wall)

channels. 2.4 auto / 5g 36

Wpa-PSK security

 

I recently looked at my logs and it had a weird entry around the time of the drop. 

[UPnP set event: add_nat_rule] from source 192.168.1.13, Thursday, November 23, 2017 17:56:19
[DoS Attack: ACK Scan] from source: 222.168.65.244, port 80, Thursday, November 23, 2017 17:46:23
[DoS Attack: ACK Scan] from source: 218.62.24.143, port 80, Thursday, November 23, 2017 17:46:13
[DHCP IP: 192.168.1.11] to MAC address dc:3a:5e:b3:2f:0f, Thursday, November 23, 2017 17:43:44
[DHCP IP: 192.168.1.8] to MAC address 78:f8:82:ca:2f:79, Thursday, November 23, 2017 17:40:30

 

That's a snippet of the logs, but I do not know why it says DoS attack? Could that be causing the satellite to drop? If so, is there a way to fix it?

 

Other notes: I am only running 1 PC and an Nvidia Shield from the bedroom satellite, so I do not think it is being overtasked.  Also, I do sometimes have satellites drop off when downloading large files (Video games). But there was no one downloading when the satellite dropped off. It happens way to often (every night) to be just a fluke. 

 

Thanks for the help.

Re: RBR40 satellite keeps dropping

We released a new firmware 2.1 you may want to upgrade to this and see if this resolves the issue.
