Guest WiFi randomly drops Internet connection
I have 2 RBS50s and 1 RBR50. My setup has been running flawlessly for years, as in no issues. Recently (last month), the Guest WiFi randomly drops the Internet connection. The WiFi is there, but ...
there is a newer 2.7.3.22 firmware out there
Have you tried it?
We've also noticed unstable Guest network issues, like you describe. Main network totally solid. FW: V2.7.2.104
How'd the reset go? Any better?
I upgraded to the FW version mentioned above and so far so good. But that does not mean the issue is fixed. Usually I would turn the guest network off/on and it would work fine for some random amount of time. Sometimes a day, sometimes several. Same if I restarted the router/satellites.
So I am not holding my breath here.

Fair enough, I upgraded as well. Let's see how it goes. Thanks.
Yeah, Guest network is now pretty much unusable. People can connect but website loads insanely slow or time out. It's just really unstable. The normal network is 100% solid, only the Guest network is a mess. Any way to fix this? It wasn't always like this.

Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
