Hi sdbrown,
Thank for responding.
You can try doing a factory reset but if the issue persists, try reflashing the latest firmware then reset and reconfigure the router. Please keep us posted on the results.

Just updated to the latest BETA firmware R8000-V1.0.3.26_1.1.18. Cleared the logs, now I'll see what the internet does after 24 hours. It sure would be handy to have a periodic ping latency and speed test report without having to do it manually so that it shows up in the router log. More Detailed router logs would be nice.
Hi sdbrown,
Alright, please keep us posted. That is something that you can suggest on our ideas exchange board linked below.
