v7.2.8.5 FW is causing issues, so Wi-Fi starts having slow connections. Then, the RBR and both RBS just drop network connections and restart. I have tried most, if not everything, to fix the issue, such as manually changing Wi-Fi channels to different channels with the same result. Even disconnecting everything yields the same result. I even tried connecting via DHCP with the ISP-provided router with the same results. The property is roughly 5000 square feet over 2 floors: 6 to 12-inch brick walls on the first floor and 3 to 6-inch wood-framed walls on the second floor. My 2 RBS are hardwired. The only devices that use Wi-Fi in my home are smart devices, such as Amazon devices, mobile phones, and tablets. Everything else is via Ethernet through a Netgear SX10 switch. My ONT is a Calix GigaPoint GP1100G, and my ISP is Vodafone UK.
