Firmware version: V9.12.4.16_1.3.21
Firmware v9.12.5.3 was released Dec 26. Might try manually updating to that version and see what happens.

It is essential to update satellites first and the router last.
Upgraded to v9.12.5.3 this morning - will watch & see how this version does - thank you!
There was nothing in the Release Notes about this specific problem. However, when people attempt to investigate issues, they commonly want to work with the most recent release and updating firmware is usually the "first step".
In some specific cases, the most recent firmware has been found suspect by members of the forum and the common recommendation is to "go back". With this release coming out so recently and fewer forum members using the 971 platform, you may get to be one of the first to experience it.
Good Luck
