RBR50 Drops after firmware update
Hello, I just updated the firmware in my RBR50 to V2.7.2.104. After this, my internet connection frequently drops. I didn't have this issue before the firmware update. The update was successful. ...
What did you roll back to? Does anyone know the most recent stable version? I'm having all kinds of issues over here and that's after doing a factory reset on the router and all satellites and before going to V2.7.2.104
What kind of problems are you having?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or may not be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see if any of these are enabled:
Armor, Circle, Traffic Meter. Daisy Chain, and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s). Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

Try reverting back to v16 as last resort.

Satellite that previously always had a solid 5Ghz connection to the RBR50 only connecting via 2.4Ghz with a "Poor" backhaul status. Satellites dropping connection all the time, disappearing from the GUI randomly. My system was fine on a previous version of the FW. I just don't remember which version it was. That's why I asked what they rolled back to. I've read and read and read on the forums here. I just want to get back to where I was before.
Then you can revert back to what had worked for you.
That's my intention, but also why I asked what they reverted back to. Since I did the factory reset and all that, I don't recall what version of the FW I was running then. It's been a few weeks.
