Orbi Issues with V2.1.4.16
Hi,

my current switch is zyxel gs1900-24e, uk (setup today due to the issues having) - it was previously a tp-link TL-SG1008D which had the same issues

previously the setup was as follows
hg612 modem -> pfsense -> samknows whitebox -> 8 port switch -> orbi (with switch then off to two other switches for the satellites)
