Android Device can't connect to network ressources although stays connected to Wifi
Device:
Sony Z2 Tablet running Android 6.0.1 (last Update from Sony)
ORBI50 AC3000 with latest firmware (V2.2.1.210)
Never had any issues with a Netgear Nighthawc AC1900 R7000 running on DD-WRT which was replaced by the Orbi System.
Tablet is connected using 2.4 Ghz to the main router. I deactivated the satelites - problem remains:
The internet connection is working fine until all of the sudden it stops working. The device is still connected to the Wifi but it shows that there is no internet connection. Also it is not possible to access local ressources like the Orbi Router, Printer etc.
When I deactivate Wifi and reactivate it's working again.
Other devices like Win10 Thinkpads or iOS devices don't have any issues.

Where do I get this firmware?
The update function says 2.2.1.210 is the latest and also on the product support page there is only this version available.
I then found a page for 2.3.0.32 saying"If you’re manually updating the firmware using a browser, you cannot update the firmware directly to v2.3.0.32. You must first update the firmware to v2.2.1.212. After updating the firmware v2.2.1.212, your Orbi router will reboot, and then you can update to v2.3.0.32. "
So I need to get 2.2.1.212 first ... is there actually a support page that lists all available versions and why is 2.2.1.210 listed as current if newer versions exist? Or are these version still beta / unstable?
