RBR850 Firmware blocking youtube
Lesson learned: I just uploaded the new rbr850 firmware V7...31 from V4.6.14.3_2.3.12 and my kids were crying because they couldn't get to youtube.com. I reverted back to original firmware V4.6, and I was so proud that youtube was back. Then I realized maybe I should check the blocked sites and uncovered youtube.com which I probably entered years ago. So, long story short, apparently the new firmware security works better than previous firmware. đ

Next time, might check more things for troubleshooting steps before upgrading or downgrading.
You can try v.31, some users haven't had good experiences with it so we've been recommending v.21 as it was tested well including the beta community. Most stable FW version IMO. So if you decide to update, try v.21 first.
For issue you can't seem to resolve normally, try a factory reset and setup from scratch. Resolves odd issues from my experiences.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
