The latest update actually resolved this issue it seems like. Has not happened since they updated!
There are a couple new random little issues where internet just essentially pauses on devices and stops working but a quick off and on of wifi on the end devices fixes it. Nothing I can't deal with, but I'm sure future updates will provide more fixes!
Should have to do that though.
Did you power OFF the system for 1 minute then back ON after the last FW update?Be sure to disable any MAC Address randomizers on phones and pads while at home:

I think I have it off on all devices but I'll double check that as well!
How many RBS are deployed?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router 📡 and satellite(s)🛰️? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR 📡 and RBS 🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.

What channel configurations are currently set on the router?
