This appears related to the recent DNS/NTP issue. The router appears to lose the ability to relay DNS requests on any FW version.

You can't rollback they firmware. That was the first thing I thought of. Tried the manual process, it doesn't work.
What is the mfr and model# of the isp modem or host router the RBR is connected too in AP mode?
Seems the maybe the RBR is not getting signal from the host router which is indicated by the PINK led on top.
Ensure you have a good quality LAN cable in between the RBR and host router. CAT6 is recommended.
Try the following NTP server:
Uncheck Automatically adjust for daylight savings time
Set preferred NTP server to 1.pool.ntp.org
Try the RBR in router mode and set the DMZ on the host router up for the IP address the RBR gets from the host router.
Has a factory reset been performed since last update?

Have had to restart RBR50 2x. No longer getting pink LEDs at top -. No lights at all for a while and will eventually turn Pink. From iOS device using native wifi sees SSID but says no internet connection. If restart RBR50, get internet connection for a while.
NTP settings Mountain Time with automatically adjust for daylight savings time on. Preferred NTP time.google.com
factory reset = lost passwords
