I'd roll back the firmware. I had the RBK963 and it was super stable for the longest time. When upgraded to the RBE973, I missed the 963 because it was so much more stable than the 973.
Its evened out a little but I still like my 963.
Try the rollback, full factory reset, and reinstall. Then disable auto-updates.
See if the next version is more stable.

Ok I'll give it a try but 21 was released months ago and waiting for 31 to be stable and usable in the UK is like waiting for a bus...
Thanks for the reply

Waiting on firmware updates always is. Most of the security updates aren't that "critical" and tend to be security that most end users don't need

Be sure you downgrade the RBS first, then RBR lastly. After all is downgraded, you'll need to factory reset and set up the system from scratch.Or if you have a saved backup from when the system was on v.21, you can load it up and should be up and running with in minutes.
