XR700 R-apps error
I just got my XR700 yesterday and I updated it to the newest firmware and after 2-3 minutes I was getting r-app errors, I also tried downgrading and I got the same issue :(

Also the same as everyone else. New XR700, firmware 1.0.1.20. R-apps will work initially after power cycle/reboot, then various apps will stop working when I log in later. I've tried with Edge browser, Firefox, Chrome - same apps are not loading in each one (ex; Device Manager won't load, same across all three browsers). This is obviously an issue with having to do any type of network management, or verifying if certain devices are connected. Not sure about downgrading the firmware, and I have just bumped the 'retrys' to 5.
Having had issues with the "comparable" top-of-the-line ASUS ROG and TP-Link routers dropping clients, I am hanging onto the XR700 for the moment - since all my wireless devices are (at least for now) connected and stable. But there's really no excuse for higher end gaming routers to be so unreliable, glitchy and buggy. I did buy this through Amazon, so their return policy is a plus.

Please try using Google Chrome without extensions and clearing the cache/cookies. Also in System Information in the R-App panel options change the number of retry attempts to 5 and then reboot the router. If it's not working after all that then stay on previous firmware as we'll need to work on a fix.
