R8000 firmware v1.0.4.76 causing issues

Wondering if anyone else is having issues with the latest firmware update on the R8000 router? The wifi signal keeps dropping (hardwired appears fine) and I’m having to reboot it every couple of days. Today the guest wifi suddenly started showing available (it has always been disabled) at the same time the others went down. Reboot cleared it and fixed all the others. Suggestions?

    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

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

     

    Try downgrading back to what was working?

      Factory reset seems to be solid for about a week now. Hopefully that did it. Thanks!
