So with all these devices online, and setup IP address reservations, does the system work ok?
I see some devices that you might consider setting a Static IP address ON that would be outside of the suggested default DHCP IP address pool range.
You have lots of plugs and lights. Wondering if some of these could be causing issues. Wondering if the system is bogging down.
What channel configurations are currently set on the router?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router 📡 and satellite(s)🛰️? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR 📡 and RBS 🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.
What FW version was loaded prior to v.31?
Prior FW working?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
