Google Home and Chromecast
So I got the super orbi crashing and rebooting on the router and satellites. I seemed to have narrowed it down to when working with Google Home. When ever I try to stream something it would prompt an orbi reboot and I would loose wifi for 1-2 min while it boots back up. Sometimes, after the reboot, google home will work fine other times I'll get the message "hmm.. something is wrong try again in a few seconds" which usually prompts me to restart the home itself via unplugging. Just recently (after upgrade to 2.0.0.74) I also noticed that my dropcams have been randomly dissconnecting. That prompted me to check [ipaddress]/debug.htm and I noticed that all my routers and satellites have been randomly restarting (via the uptime counter). Upgrading to 2.1.1.12 still results in crashs and I also notice that I also have the CPU utilization 70%+ as well. Halp?
