RBR and RBS reboot

To eliminate potential bugs, I took it upon myself to do a factory reset, 90 minutes later the system is stable again, although the firmware has shown further bugs. 1. The factory reset on the RBR had to be done 2x incl. powercycle until he didn't really forget everything. 2. After the configuration in AP mode, 2 powercycles were also necessary, because the RBR only distributed APIPA addresses and ignored the link to the Fritzbox. 3. After connecting the satellites for the first time, they continue to blink cheerfully in white, even though the setup is complete and connections etc. are already being established. Actually, these should show blue light for 3 minutes, but they just keep flashing in white... In the GUI, they are displayed with good signal strength and 5GHZ. Another PowerCycle later, the problem was solved. It hasn't changed this problem.

  • I am a bit confused by the change in user name (Cvv to Orbi2020pc) and router (RBK853 to RBR50v2).

    And does the topic remain the system rebooting under load, or.......?

     

    I have the original RBR50 (version 1) and iPerf3 out the WAN port is limited by my 11Mb Spectrum upload:

    When doing iPerf3 between two desktop computers connected directly to the RBR50, I get this:

    None of the Orbi systems support assigning different SSIDs to the 2.4G and 5G WiFi channels.  If these other SSIDs are appearing, they may be from a WiFi extender?
