Bought this ac3000 rbr50 plus 2rbs50 last weekend from costco. I have no android phones/boxes. Last night Computers lost connectivity and iphones and ipads crwaled. Found this pos autoupdated to 21218. Already feeling that this is garbage. I have 80 more days to decide if I should return it. Already considering Google mesh to replace this junk.

Have you tried the new firmware, v2.0.1.4:

Apparently the new 2.1.* features have been reverted, and auto-update from this latest firmware version is turned off. So if it works for you, it will stay until "further notice".
