After setting up from scratch and the system is working well, be sure to save a new backup configuration to file for safe keeping and save time if another factory reset needs to be done. Saves time here:

Since update V1.0.1.60, whenever i restart the router, i can't get any WiFi working in any band.
In order to get it working properly i need to acces the interface via browser and disable, then re enable vlan/bridge at every power cycle (my ISP do require it to get the connection working). Everything was working perfectly with the older firmware 1.0.0.38.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

Yes, I tried a factory reset and also tried to rollback to the old firmware. Then I upgraded again to the latest, and performed the reset again but nothing worked for me.
Is there a new firmware coming soon that fixes the restart issue for the RS600? I'm currently on a test beta since December and have noticed speed drops so just curious if there's a stable one in the near future.
NG doesn't give us info on when new FW will be forth coming. Just have to keep an eye out for it.
New FW available for the RS500 and RS600:
Nothing new for the other models.
Good Luck.
