back to the stable version you had before your update OR the oldest one available for your product at the download area OR a factory reset and go from there

- Pedro2021Feb 21, 2021AspirantThanks for the suggestions. Nothing worked but I do appreciate the suggestions.

I just ordered a T-Link mesh system and will give that a try. My $500+ Orbi POS will head to the trash ending up in a landfill.
