My logs are full of this every few seconds to every few minutes. It's not just the 2 devices above. It's at least 10 to 12 out of 25 or so devices on our wifi. It doesn't seem to matter if it's a PC, apple watch, or other device. I've never seen this in my logs before this firmware.

Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last update?
Please try a factory reset and setup from scratch with the RBR and RBS.

I am guilty of not trying a factory reset to see if it helps. I'll backup my config and give it try sometime this weekend and report back.
