Been online for well over a week with no issues seen. I had to take it OFFLINE to check on something different.
You may need to factory reset the system and power the system OFF as well. This user posted his process:

Yes we all ready know that users should not have to resort to processes like this to keep there systems working. NG knows about issues with v4 FW already.

Interesting to read all the challenges and I too hope there is a new firmware being released soon. I have been very happy with the RBR850 since I got it as soon as it was released. It has been very reliable and that I have now lost.
I'm suffering from occasional reboots, system just shows flashing white and I lose all internet. I'm in router mode not AP. There is no specific cause that I can get to or frequency. It was mostly once a week currently and all started under this Firmware.

Have you tried what I did for mine in the previous post? Something to give a shot. I had mine online for about two weeks after doing that. Ran well after that.
