RBR50 dropping packets

Upon further review, the problem only happens on wireless. Wired devices work fine, Speedtest from Orbi works fine.

When the wireless is "working", packets are still being dropped. Problem occurs regardless of channel, on both the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands.

This should tell you something.
I would love to go back to .30. How do I do that?

  Go to the download page, enter your gear and see if there is an eariler version available.

    This was probably overkill, but I went back to 2.2.1.212, did a factory reset on that firmware, upgraded to 2.3.0.32, changed all my settings to where I wanted them one by one while checking wireless speed at every step (it dropped each time!), then upgraded directly to 2.5.0.38. I do not experience the long connection drops I used to, but the wireless does still drop for about a couple seconds from time to time.
