Sorry to hear that is still happening. I think that is probably the wise thing to do in this situation and wait to see if the 3.0 helps with the issue.
Later on I had discovered the issue I was having was worse than expected. Once I got everything back up and running for the time being with the xr700 so I could work, later I found that Port Aggregation was not working and a portion of my wireless devices would not reconnect. Then I found out only my main PC and my work laptop only had internet access. These 2 devices are hard wired. Everything else was offline, wired and wireless devices. This time I had to power off by the button and unplug power. Gave it about 20sec and plugged it all back in. Some of my wireless devices did reconnect, others I had to redo their connections. But everything else was good and the aggregation came back.
The issues with the devices not reconnecting seems to be the router maintaining the device in memory. And when maybe it tries to reconnect, it sees its already connected and will not let it back on. But that theory kind of goes away when I see my work laptop show up on the site grid(Device Manager) 3 times. All 3 the same except IP. A complete power off clears them out.
