Please give feedback to the questions presented so we can get a better idea of your envrionment.
Also is the RBS directly connected to the RBR or is there a LAN switch in betwen or is the RBS connecting to the RBR via different method?

It’s flaky in that the internet drops and restores. My wife called all day about it. I can see it when I get notifications that the thermostat is offline, etc. Saturday was rock solid. Sunday maybe a half dozen three to five minute drops. Today, off and on all day. I am thinking about down grading firmware, but it will just update automatically. The satellite is connected via Ethernet.
I've updated to this firmware my new RBK752.
VPN has issues. it didn't route correctly and more over it made the DNS gateway crash.
Really thought that this new firmware was fantastic. While it does provide a lot better stability, when it's working, I've run into a problem.
1. After a day or two, the RBR750 locks up hard. The link light for the ethernet port on my Adtran Fiber optic OTA goes dark. Connections using the ethernet ports on teh back of the RBR750 are unresponsive and also show no link.
If I unplug the power for a couple minutes and then reconnect, the RBR750 will start backup and connectivity will return both ethernet and wireless.
RBR750 and RBS750's (three in RBK753 kit) are all on APC UPS units that provide quality power besides just backup power.
Hoping this helps the developers. I suspose it's possible that there's a hardware issue if others are not having thses problems, but befoe I pull the trigger for a warranty replacement claim, I wanted to report my status and if others have also encountered this issue.
How often does this happen?
Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.Lastly, try a full on factory reset of the RBR, power OFF for 5 minutes then back on then complete the setup wizard.
Also look at the memory usage on the routers IPaddress/debug.htm page to see if the usage climbs or keeps steady.

I updated about a week ago following the instructions, including a power off of the devices and modem, but today I had my first crash. Lost all Wi-Fi and Ethernet from the RBR750 and the only fix was to power off and back on again. Looks like 4.6.7.5 still has issues.
