RBK53 issues with 2.5.1.8
Add me to the list of everyone having issues with 2.5.1.8. Yesterday I completely reset the unit and it worked for about a day. Now a day later I'm having issues with WiFi all over again. Anything pl...
I loaded the Voxel FW and everything was good for about 36 hours, then everything went to hell.
Today is turned off both satellites and tried running on just the router. Connection constantly drops. 5Ghz devices can't connect to 5Ghz. Devices can't get IPs and are disconnected. I've turned off nearly every feature possible. This hardware is complete crap. There's no reason that the hardware should perform so poorly after 18 months give or take.

Sounds like you need to dump 2.5.1.8
amd stop performing manual firmware updates
Go back to v30 and see if this corrects the problem. If it still happens, then your RBR needs to be replaced. Ya, HW should not be failing that early. My friends RBK50 is still working 3 years and counting and I haven't touched it since installing it for him.

ITs now dead. Tried to flash and now its stuck on flashing white. Tried reseting it several times but it is dead. Its not broadcasting or giving out IPs.
