New RBK50/53 Series Firmware Version 2.7.3.22
Bug Fixes: Fixes the DNS query failure issue that occurs when traffic meter and daylight saving are enabled Security Fixes: This firmware addresses security vulnerabilities. For more informatio...
Update from me on this firmware. After using sometime I was getting rpoblems with wired devices. These devices did no longer get connection. Power cycle of the (non managed) switch resolved the issue. Howerv it returned then suddenly I noticed that my Andorid S10 phone (latest firmware) did no longer get good connection to the Wifi (no internet and no data).
Switching off router and satellites did only fix it for a few minutes and then issues start re-occuring. Other HW also wired connected did not get any internet anymore.
Full reset of the system (by using the reset button on the back) and then restore fixed everything anf the system is working again. It looks like it corrupted somewhere.
Another great experience of Orbi. I decided to purchase another system and will sell this. Too many issues
Looks like the DNS issue is not fully fixed in this one. With traffic meter on I was getting random DNS drop outs just like the original daylight savings/traffic meter issue. I turned off traffic meter and rebooted. I got one more DNS drop out after that, but so far stable since. If it continues opperating I'll leave traffic meter off and wait for the next fix, otherwise I'll probably revert to the previous version.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since applying this FW update?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Mines also loaded and TM and DST are enabled. Have not seen any DNS issues. I had Circle enabled as well and experienced a internet outage, wired and wireless. I turned OFF Circle and rebooted the RBR. Haven't seen this again.

One item to note. This version of FW still has the RBS connected via ethernet ARP storm problem that continues when the RBS is first connected to ethernet to the RBR. I noticed this time the storm still continued past 2-3 minutes and didn't seem to stop. I had to power OFF the RBS and power cycle two NG GS105s, then power back ON the RBS, then the storm stopped and the system settled and started working normally.
This oddity was introduced back in v2.6 and continued into v2.7. Only happens when RBS is ethernet connected to the RBR.
