Grrr. Orbi is great when it's running, but it is SO frustrating to have to do a factory reset every few days.

I was really happy to see that "Link Rate" was reported against devices but soon realized that either it wasn't meant to be included or it hasn't been done properly.

Or even slow down the constant disconnect issues to every hour or something. Is that too much to ask of the Orbi?
