You're problem is with 2.5.1.8

I think you're missing my point.................which is stop doing manual updates. The only reason I mentioned the upgrade at this point is that I've read of some success with the other version. Your only other option (other than sit there and suffer) would be to revert back to a previous stable version.
Good luck
- Heya
So I think you missed the part where I said after reverting backwards it showed on the device I needed to upgrade ( from .30 to .16) and so I did that as per the device firmware update method. Eg not manually . That still didn’t work so I rolled back. I’m not just upgrading manually. I’ve used both approaches. Right now I’m 8 hours without a reboot. On .30. Biggest change was setting 2.4ghz to fixed channel 6 rather than auto as I read that might help. . Why I don’t know
