RBR50 unstable with 2.5.2.4
Have an RBR50 with 3 satelittes.
After upgrading firmware 2 days ago to 2.5.2.4 the internet over wifi has been intermittent at best. The wifi signal it self is solid around the house, and the Orbi app shows strong connections with devices and between router and satelittes. The devices can use the internal network but external keeps falling out on devices.
Speedtest with Orbi app on router shows 500/500 and 1ms as expected with internet service. This has been tested likewise with same results when devices show no internet.
Settings:
WMM / MU-MIMO enabled
40 mhz only
IPv6 disabled
Daisy chain disabled
Considering the wifi signal strength is solid, and there are no devices pulling all bandwidth, I am at a loss...

Solution was to roll-back firmware to V2.5.1.16 after which the wifi setup has worked stable and without any further drop-outs or reduction of service.

I would update to this version:
Also factory reset the Orbi system then setup from scratch after the update.
