RBR750 - pausing WiFi
Why does the pausing WiFi funcition keep losing it's functionality? One week it works, the next it doesn't, for no reason that I know of. I can hit the Pause on all Devices, and nothing happens. It's the only thing I dislike about the RBR750 router. Otherwise, these routers are great.
