My RBR50 keeps spontaneously rebooting

My RBR50 keeps spontaneously rebooting

I have an RBR50 and two RBS50 satellites, purchased as a bundle through Costco. I noticed that the router would intermittently just reboot, dropping all devices. I thought it may be a firmware issue so I upgraded to the latest (2.1.2.18) and it still happens almost daily. All the log says is [Initialized, firmware version: V2.1.2.18]. Is my router defective? Thanks!

Model: RBR50| Orbi AC3000 Tri-band WiFi (Router Only)

If you have an Android phone and Chromecast devices, it may be related to that.

I do, indeed, have Android AND Chromecast. Thanks for pointing that out! I'll try it!

TP-link, Linksys, and others have already gotten it fixed... How long for a Chromecast/Android fix Netgear?
