orbi 850 dropping
I have on the latest firmeware and my wifi drops multiple times per day. I know its not a device as my alart drops to cell, my phone drops, and PCs loose connection. I cant find anything in the logs saying that status. based on the wifi singal going down on a PC it would not appear to be the provider. It typically drops for about 30 sec -1min and comes back.
Are there any know issues with the V4.6.3.16_2.0.51 firmware and better logs?
