FYI: Firmware update 2.5.1.8 causes DNS timeouts only fixed by reboot on my RBR50 and RBS50's

Same issues for me after I upgraded firmware. I just rolled back to 2.3.5.30 so hopefully that fixes it. I've had these for 6 months and they've been nothing but trouble. I now unplug them and plug my laptop directly into my cable modem when working from home as they are too unreliable for work.
As for the factory reset after a firmware upgrade... That is just ridiculous that it should be a requirement for the Orbi to work without issues. Can you imagine if you had to do a factory reset after every firmware upgrade on your smart phone? People would lose their minds.
