RAX80 keeps droping internet connection randomly

What gateway is it connected to? 

Did you try factory resetting and re-installing after the update? That can help if an old setting is causing issues.

Yes. I have done a factory reset after the update and then configured the router manually. I do not seem to understand why this is repeating. Also this mostly happens during late night/early morning. plemans
