FW Version is 5.6.0.1 On the WAN side, connected to Centurylink fiber optic router On the LAN side, connected to Netgear GC728XP Everything works fine. But only for an hour or so. Then BR500 just ...
I bought it brand new a month ago. I dont recall if I upgraded to 5.6.0.1, or if already had 5.6.0.1
I dont want to do a factory reset and recreate all the IP address reservations, the one VLAN tagging I added, the PPPoE credentials, etc. Can I backup the configuration in 5.6.0.1, and import it into 5.5.0.1?
Is this a problem known to Netgear, is it being resolved?

You may backup the config on the v5.6.0.1 then import it to v5.5.0.1. Observe the internet connection through the BR500 after downgrading the firmware.
