I'm having the exact same problem (as best as I can tell) with my RBR20. It started the same day that I upgraded from firmware version (I wish I knew!) to V2.6.2.104. The version number makes me think that it's closely related to the RBR50 firmware that is having problems.

Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed?

Hi,
I did perform a factory reset (paperclip). I then restored my previously saved configuration because I've got custom DNS entries, I've got a range of static IP addresses for certain devices, and a bunch of other little changes that I would have forgotten about.
Is there a way I can extract all of my configuration (without having to perform a print-screen on every screen!) so that I can perform another factory reset, then configure from scratch using my preferred configuration? Having a text version of configs would be ideal so I could copy from the text, then paste values (MAC, IP, etc,) directly into the freshly reset configuration.
