RS600 new firmware issues 1.0.5.22
Downloaded and installed latest FW release 1.0.5.22, and now experiencing issues with internet dropping out for about 30 seconds every 10-15 minutes. This was most prevalent on the ethernet side, but...

Finally solved this issue. Let me take a step back at the cause first. This all started after uploading the latest firmware 1.0.5.22. This was done via direct cable from a laptop. After that internet was fully dropping out to all devices about ever 3-15 minutes with a duration of about 10 seconds. The internet light would turn red and flash during this period. My first step was to revert back to the previous firmware, but still now had same problem. I did a reset on the old firmware and reset up from scratch, and still same problem. I then installed the new firmware again and did same thing setting up from scratch after a full reset. Noticed all along in the logs a message internet connected and the exact time it would fail. So my next plan I did a 30/30/30 reset several times concurrently. After that I re-installed the 1.0.5.22 firmware again, and did a 30/30/30 reset again. Reloaded all my settings again, and it works perfectly now. I think the thing that fixed it was doing the 30/30/30 reset. Using the reset button procedure was unable to correct this. All is well now, thanks for all the help.

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

Frontier XGS-PON-ONT. Model #FRX523. I used this ONT successfully with Rax200, and Raxe500, never a single bit of problem.

Ok. We've seen some odd issues with RS routers and ONTs over this past year. So needed to know what you have with the RS router.
Will pass this to NG for review.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
