Firmware v2.5.1

Ever since upgrading (automatically) to v2.5.1.8 everything on the network has been dropping connection. I mean everything because it's roku's, PC's (windows), phones (android), xbox connected to the satellite. It' fairly often (maybe every 15 minutes) and lasts for maybe 5-15 seconds. Never had any problems before.
I was going to roll back to v2.3.5.30 but when I go to the manual update page it only gives me the option to "check" one satellite so it worries me to try and roll back.
Two questions.
1. Is anyone else having problems with v2.5.1.8
2. Why would only one satellite be showing up on the manual upgrade page.
- 2.5 has been out for months.
For expediency, consider a factory reset. No issues since v2.5.1.8 loaded on my RBK50. No DNS timeouts, blocked web sites, wifi or internet drops. Device naming is fixed on this version. Though on RBS in a web browser, it shows "unknown" for device names. Most stable version to date.
Factory reset is recommended then setup from scratch. I reset mine after each update and save a new backup configuration to file for safe keeping.
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
