    No odd issues or mysterious reboots or disconnections with the RBR?

      I do have occasional weird problems where the units lock up. When I reboot them, they loose the settings. Happens every several months. Not that often and not that annoying.

      unfortunately the Google nest smoke detectors use IPv6 to communicate with each other.

        Something to try some custom IPv6 DNS configurations and see if this changes any of those behaviors.
