    Hi Georgevermij

    i have the same problem and think the problem is connected with ReadyShare Vault as the problem came back after a while after downgrading and factory-reset.

    Curious to know:

    • Do you use ReadyShare Vault too?

    Best

      Sorry for the late reply. I don't use Vault but I do use readyshare for a hard drive that I have plugged in to my router. 
      I still don't have any issues after changing to the old firmware although I do wonder what I should do if I ever want to upgrade the firmware for safety reasons.
