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

Pay no attention to what the device says about upgrading. IF your system needs an update NG will push it to you automatically. No acttion required on your part.
this is where I think you keep making your mistake..." 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 "
IF you had to click something to perform an update that IS manual.
