RBR50 + satellite randomly disconnecting specific devices from internet
I hope someone else has run into this weird problem and can offer some advice, so I appreciate anyone that can help! I'll be as detailed as I can to get started. We have an RBR50 + satellite set ...
So far, the reports seem to confirm that EITHER turning off DST *or* TM no longer triggers the problem, using the standard graphical interface.
There are other fixes that also work but require debug-level direct access, e.g., restarting dnsmasq (recovers). Note that setting clients to no longer relay DNS through dnsmasq has *not* been shown viable; it would allow clients to continue working using their current DHCP assignment but if dnsmasq crashes then new assignments and renewals would fail.

I'm on the latest firmware right now, with DST on and TM off and the disconnects are constant, not intermittent but basically constant on my wifi devices.
im on 2.5.2.4 but i doubt you can find it available
unless you have a copy of a older version, you might check the download area, enter your model number and see what is listed.
That fixed it, the firmwares after this one were giving me disconnects. As soon as I switched to this one, every single app started working again. Roku tv is no longer buffering, wired pc is good, parents are happy that their tablets stopped disconnecting. Thanks for posting your firmware version!
What version did you end up with?
V2.5.2.4
