RS600 All 2.5 Ghz devices stopped connecting. Rebooting only fix
Brand new RS600. 1 month old. ALL 2.5 GHZ devices (thermostat, printers) lost connection to the router. Though they could see the SSID, they could not connect.
Tried resetting the connection on the devices, nothing worked.
When I rebooted the router, everything rest and started working again.
Is there a way to see what happened?
I just got this router and want to know if I need to return it. For what I paid, I should not be having issues.
Good to hear. Probably mark this as solved then. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.How is the wifi configured? Is smart connect enabled or disabled?

I was on .90, but working on another issue, development sent me .113 which I installed this morning. The issue happened on .90.
Smart Connect is enabled.
Wpa2+3 is enabled

Total devices, about 10.

Ok, lets let the beta version run for a bit and monitor.
Thank you, how does this relate to
Router Firmware Version V1.0.5.113
1.0.5.113 (beta) seems to be much higher (newer?) than 1.0.5.12...
Last you reported being on older released FW and had not reported anything later then that. NG just released v.12 which is current released version and was posted here to let you know since we didn't get any feedback from you about a beta. If you have a beta loaded, then keep what is working for you.
