Plese try my suggestion about downgrading FW with the RBR off line with the modem. Try this process and see if the RBR will come back as stable. I to find it very odd that one update has destablized your system and even downgrading it hasn't fixed it. :smileyfrustrated:

RBS connects to RBR via an unmanaged switch.
However with an iPad verified connected to the RBR WiFi, I've confirmed the disconnects affect both the Satellite and Router, and both WiFi and wired connections to both satellite and router.
The issue not being resolved by manually downgrading the firmware is confusing to me as well.
I'm not currently home to try your suggestion, but I will.
Switch is Linksys Business LGS108 8-Port.

I see the switch has "Meets EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) 802.3az standard" This is green ethernet which historically has been known to cause problems with Orbi AC and AX. If it's worked for you then I guess keep it. I would try the RBS wirelessly at first after you get the RBR working better. If that happens. Trying to rule out items that can cause problems.
Roger that. Let us know when you get home. Hoping we can get something working again. :smileywink:
