RBR50 Dropping Internet Connections with Firmware 2.5.1.16
Since I upgraded my firmware to my RBR50 to version 2.5.1.16, I am losing my Internet connection each day, once or twice, completely, and will drop intermittantly once or twice an hour all the time. ...
You have given me the playbook on how to fix dropped connections and I appreciate it. However, my question is this, why would upgrading to firmware 2.5.1.16 be the start of these problems? Why wouldn't I have been dropping my Internet connection be a problem with the earlier firmware versions. I didn't make any configuration changes, only upgraded.

I had the same issues as you. Even a factory reset wasn't helpful. The last stable version for me is 2.3.5.30 and I wouldn't go any higher than that unless you like frustration.
