I had a problem where whenever I went in to change a connected device setting, for example, device priority or name, and clicked the Apply button, the admin page timed out, and i couldn't login again until I had restarted the router. Any changes I had made were lost. I have about 32 devices connected.

 

I hoped downloading this version of the firmware would fix the issue, but it doesn't.

 

I have no problem editing any of the other pages, DHCP Ip address reservation, or Dynamic QoS (which I have now turned off).

    Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

      No, I haven't done a factory reset and reconfiguration. Is that the best option when applying these patches?

        Only if one runs in to problems that can' be solved by other means. Kind of last resort. 

        I plan on loading my R8000 up and checking this out.
