Re: Major Firmware 7.2.6.31 issues
I am having the same problem with my RBRE960 and two satellites. Before the update, it was reliable. Now the system randomly disconnects, every day. Sometimes rebooting just the main router fixes the connection; sometimes I need to reboot all three. It's frustrating that a product which has never had any problems is suddenly unreliable.
