ok been on this ride since begingina dn for last several months or so have had the before firmware and was 95% stable ( some wifi devices dropping and connecting back but like 5 ) before that had the fun all experienced and pulled out hair .
( must admit with previious firmware also did have a reboot issue where reboot orbit and my 4 apple devices could no longer connect had to reboot several times till apple devices connected. So to say rebooting was very limited.
but last night backed up everything ( include location of the lost ark lolol) updated the firmware properly and rebooted everything and instantly all connected and all issue went away. everything has been stable and have made some minot tweaks ( say like change password and stuff nothing like main paramaters and rebooted a few times and had success with Appel devices connecting right away. one time connected dropped and then connected again 30 sec disconnected but that was like 2nd reboot. made like 5 after that and all devices reconnected quickly. satellites have a nice number of items that are close to them .
all look and act great
but
always a but lol
I think I saw other reported but speed , when I do the Speedtest app, is a bit slower than before. it is off like 100 mbps usually (420 to 520 speed conning in is 998). I have to wonder if having issue with 2.4 and 5 and maybe connecting as 2.4 but that not here or there.
did run test for video and said I was way quick enough for 4 k video and have no lad and ran test for gaming and say was at the super max speed. so maybe it is the WMM is slowing down the speed test but not 4k video and games ( have played Disney 4k stuff and was amazing no issues.
just wanted to report my experience and do not want to pull reports and logs and stuff as taking care of a sick dog and not bad enough for me to notices a slowdown other than the numbers

Noticed any mysterious reboots of the RBR or change in the system UpTime?
- jamacphotoJul 31, 2022ApprenticeSince I’m signed on to work 24 seven via VPN and every 24 hours sign off and sign back on VPN haven’t seen any blips were any reboots that I didn’t do. If there was any blips would have been kicked of VPN but I am using
VPN on the guest network as that the only think I use on guess Netwerk and nobody else can see it to try and connect to it.
But short answer no issue like that- FURRYe38Aug 01, 2022Guru - Experienced User
Good to hear. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Something to try on your 7 series and see if it improves the system:
