RBR850 dropping network few times a day
Reporting back after some days of testing firmware 4.6.7.13 with my RBR850+RBS850 with Ethernet backhaul, running in AP mode with 1Gbit/sync fiber over Fritz!Box Modem. Generally I can say the switch...

Could you keep track of the CPU and Mem usage on a daily basis and see if you notice any spike or upward values seen?
Any chance you happen to have a separate spare router on hand?

Unfortunately no, no other router at hand.
Any chance I can aggregate the COU/RAM stats anywhere somewhat easily? Otherwise it’s more spot checks that might miss any spikes.

With that huge number of DHCP requests that is showing in the router log, I'm wondering if it is not overflowing memory somewhere and causing memory corruption - thereby causing the reboot. It's more of a concern that things are dropping off/reconnecting like they are, but I haven't had a chance to digest the logs yet.
I see you have a mailed copy of the router logs. Is this a scheduled mail or did you go to the router logs and click on SEND. If you manually sent - the logs won't clear, but if a scheduled send, it should clear the logs, although I have found that occasionally it does not.
I've found in the past that if you have a scheduled E-Mail of the logs - IF the logs fill up before the scheduled send - it will mail the log and clear.
Looking at the logs briefly, it almost looks like these devices are bouncing between satellites although difficult to tell for sure. I've seen that in the past.

Any progress on this?
Wondering was this need on prior versions of FW? v.5 or v.16?

Hey, thanks for catching up! No positive development on this, unfortunately. I had temporarily swapped systems with a friend's Unifi 6 LR to check whether it's my house's infrastructure. It's not, the Unifi is working just fine.
I am still testing and in touch with support r/n. Will report on progress.
