XR500 Locks up after latest firmware
After allowing the device to autoupdate, I have to reboot this new router every day. It just locks up, or drops the internet.
Reverted back a build and so far no issues.
Anyone have insight on this. I even updated and reset back to factory, same issue. Router seems fine on older build of firmware.

Along with this, we get pretty poor performance and lag, which has me baffled. Watched lots of videos on setup etc... Tried all kinds of things. If I just unplug the darn thing and drop back to the R8000 our internet is back happy. We never lock, we never paues, never have ping issues. Maybe I should stay with the R8000 was hoping this router would be better.
2.3.2.22 seems like its got some issues, and no I don't have an XBOX one connected. I do have a 360 connected to it, but no one has used it since I installed the router, don't think its even been turned on. We mostly PC based gamers and Ipad.
When it drops internet, it appears Wifi gets a little hinky as well.
- I've sent you a PM with firmware. Also provide a screenshot of the QoS settings you're using please
