So v7.2.8.5 FW is causing issues?
What connection is dropping? WiFI Clients or ISP service?

What channels are you using on the RBR?

There is known issues with IPv6 on FW versions past v.31. Was recommended to disable ALL IPv6 protocols on systems running FW versions past v.31.
I have had my 960 series on line with v7.8.2.5 and is stable and solid. However I don't have natvie IPv6 support from the ISP so it's disabled for me.
Something to try on your 860 series with v.5 FW loaded.
My systems are manually loaded, power cycled, factory reset and setup from scratch for a good clean FW update and system setup.
