RBR20 latest firmware update V2.6.2.104
I just updated the firmware on RBR20 to V2.6.2.104 and now I have some devices have internet and others don't. Don't know why some devices cannot get internet even though they connect to wifi and I c...
Turning off Traffic Meter seems to have helped but not fully resolved the issues. Instead of having to reboot 5 - 6 times per day, it's down to 2 - 3 times. I hate to do a factory reset but I guess that's the next step. Hoping that it won't immediately re-upgrade to V2.6.2.104 and put me right back into the same boat.

Try first a restart of all ORBI components (Power OFF all, wait 12 minute, power ON RBR, if tghere arfe RBS, power ON them after RBR is fully up).
From your posts here it is not clear if you've done that or not.
I have unplugged and rebooted (hard and soft) on numerous occaisons. But I will say that I have never left it unplugged for as long as 12 minutes. That seems like an excessively long time. I've left it unplugged for probably 30 seconds to a minute. However, I decided to downgrade the router firmware last night and try that. I'm now running V 2.6.1.36 on the router. The satellites (3) are still running V 2.6.2.104. So far, I haven't run into the issue, but I will let it run for a couple of days before I declare victory. :)

Sorry, this was typo, I meant 1-2 minutes :smileysurprised:
I own a RBK50 and never changed the defaults for traffic-meter and NTP, and I was not affected by the bug(s) in the last available FW. But I have tested it as I saw the issues here and activated traffic-meter and this broke my network within less than 1 day.
Anyway, lets hope your system is back stable.
