Ever since the releace of V4.6.3.16_2.0.51 j have been having constant issues. I have tried all the solutions I can find in the community and to no avail.
Frequent (multiple times daily) all devices lose connection to the WiFi and wired network, Also, the router appears to be rebooting itself randomly because all my log data is getting reset and the only data in the log reflects a restart and reassiging of IP addresses.
I have been a Orbi user for years and had a RBK52 kit prior to upgrading to the RBK852,
This is frustrating to no end. Particularly because even if I do an formware downgrade the system auto updates to the latest buggy firmware. I have Telnet no longer seems to be an option on the debug page (not sure which firmware version removed this) so I can't turn off the auto update function via telnet.
Getting very close to tossing this system and going to another manufacturer of a mesh system.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
You may need to factory reset the system and power the system OFF as well.

My ISP is a Shaw, in Canada. I don't know off the top of my head which cable modem it is. It is in bridge mode so the NG is the router. BUT, very unlikely this has anything to do with the issue because the NG worked fine until the latest firmware and did my RBK50 prior.
I have read most of the links you provided and tried a bunch of the suggested remedies prior to making this post. I have done a factory reset and recreated all by IP reservations, port forwarding, etc. this included a full power down of the NG and Shaw modem. Nothing has restored the system to being stable or reliable.
