We've been using Circle on our RBR50 for over 12 months and while it hasn't been issue free, most common issue is the DNS lookup failures, it hasn't impacted us greatly until this week. Now we are also experiencing the "lost connection" where devices are unable to access the internet and kids report being kicked out of on-line games, game chats, etc.
This has only started this week so there is a new issue somewhere. I have an external monitor setup on our broadband connection so I am able to prove that the internet connection has been active without interruption so the problem is internal to us. As with fdwweebb the interruption is just a few minutes (affecting all devices either wired or wireless) and disabling Circle makes the issue dissapear.
I have tried downgrading firmware from 2.6.1.40 --> 2.5.2.4 --> 2.5.1.16 and still the issue persists. This is a new problem, that started this week, so for some reason the RBR50 is getting "stuck" verifying request with Circle.
