SXR30 in Router Mode absolutely instable, only usable as AP
I have a SXR30 (with one SXS30, but not relevant here) I used it as AP. Now I wanted to test one scenario as Router, so I did a factory reset (20s or so reset button) and the router is even unstable ...
what modem/gateway are you connecting to?
When you're running it in router mode, what mode is the gateway in?
From the sound of it since you can run the SXK30 in AP mode it must have its own integrated routing functions.

This would be the second scenario and I would understand your way of thinking, if I could not reach services or some yes/no cases. But even in the ping you see it is a sometimes problem. Even the UI is loading some pages very slow or with error and other pages fast. To me the SXR30 seems to have a load issue in this scenario.
Modem is a **bleep**ty CGA6444VF Vodafone Cable Router and also the reason for this try. I wanted to set it into bridge mode and then use the SXR30 as router. Therefore I wanted to switch the SXR30 into Router mode in a test scenario - which is unstable. But even with a scenario like this to test must be stable in my eyes -not? Would be the first device which has this problems...
It should be pretty stable. I've got the same SXK30 and its worked great for me. Fully stable in router mode (and ap mode) and blazing fast.
You did a factory reset after changing firmwares?
For sure I did... and from a device in this price range and marketed as professional, I would assume to be reliable and stable.
But it is only in AP mode....
