OrbiOS MR 2.1 issues
I wanted to reach out to provide a quick update on OrbiOS 2.1 software. We believe that these issues are affecting some users. Rest assured that we've been following this issue and working hard beh...
The problem is not everybody is having issues with V2.1.2.18. For me it works fine. No reboots, no connection drops. Using 5Ghz wifi backhaul.
After reboot logs are wiped. Only settings survive. This can make it difficult to diagnose. Those users having problems must have enabled something that doesn't work well.

It is curious why some people are having no problems with 2.1.2.18 and others cant even get an Orbi to work at all. Possibilities include:
- We don’t all have identical hardware, are all Orbi born the same ?
- Some systems have bad hardware, when good chips go bad
- Bit rot - devices that have been running a long time have bugs and/or resource leaks that eventually corrupt something
- We don’t all have the same environment, network components, cables, connectors, connecting devices, usage behavior. My favorite.
- People enabling telnet and buggering something up after logging into the Orbi
