Serious connectivity bug with RBR20-V2.6.1.38 firmware

After the upgrade I was no longer able to connect to my NAS, which is connected via ethernet directly to the router. After reverting back to RBR20-V2.5.1.16 the connection issue went away. Not being able to connect to all devices in the local network is a serious bug.
In my set-up the NAS is directly connected to an Asus Router via ethernet. The RBR20 is running in AP mode and is also connected to the ASUS router via ethernet. I have 3 RBS20 satellites. Connection to the NAS sometimes worked (when using RBR20-V2.6.1.38) with when connected to the RBR20, it did not work, when the laptop was connected via a RBS20.
FYI, there is another bug when the RBR20 checks for the latest firmware. After downgrading to RBR20-V2.5.1.16 the Firmware Update page of the RBR20 router shows correctly that the firmware version is V2.5.1.16, but it also states that "No new firmware version available.", which is clearly incorrect.
How and why did you upgrade to the bad version?
