FYI: Firmware update 2.5.1.8 causes DNS timeouts only fixed by reboot on my RBR50 and RBS50's
Hi All, Mostly an FYI as I've downgraded back to 2.3.5.30 and all is well again. I have one RBR50 and three RBS50's that have been working flawlessly for pretty much as long as I can remember be...
I went into the Orbi app and it showed an update was available, prompting me to update.
And now that I'm downgraded, it again shows me that; same if I go to routerlogin.net (see attached)

so what's the problem? You don't have to update. Is your system working now?
What's the problem? The problem is the firmware update :) After I downgraded, it works again.
As the subject line of my original post states "FYI..." in case others were thinking of upgrading / had upgraded and were running into similar issues / or if support/dev ever takes a look here to see what they might need to address in future updates (I'm guessing that's a long shot, but...).

That's not a problem. That's what I've been advocating for years.

You've been advocating releasing buggy updates? ;)
Releasing buggy software to your customers is a problem no matter which way you slice it (but, yes, definitely worse when forced to take them ).
