RBR50 - rebooting daily after internet via wifi drops
(Originally posted to wrong forum; sorry) Since the latest firmware update (2.7.2.104) I've been rebooting daily. Phone connects w/o internet, some devices connect, some have no connection. I've ha...
This appears related to the recent DNS/NTP issue. The router appears to lose the ability to relay DNS requests on any FW version.
To confirm, try to set the DNS on your laptop or phone to something other than the router. No need to roll back.
Here's a link to one of many other threads on this topic:

You can't rollback they firmware. That was the first thing I thought of. Tried the manual process, it doesn't work.
Doug6392,
I thought my router was dying after having it for 3 years! But it's not just you, I'm reading 100s of other posts and it appears to be a combination of the 2.7.2.104 firmware update and DST happening. All of a sudden your WAN connection dies and kills all of your Wi-Fi connections too. Seems like things that are hardwired appear to be fine. So from other posts I've done all of what you did and disabled NTP and Traffic Monitoring. I completed it at 3/20@20:00 and everything still appears to be stable at the time of this post. I'm trying to see if I'll make it 24hrs.
