I'd try the 1.0.0.210 on the EX7700. I didn't see as much issues on that version as I did on the .222 version.

When you install it, try factory resetting and reinstalling.

The R7000 is more of a problem child. the MOST stable I've seen was the 1.0.9.42 version but that is significantly old.

But the R7000 has quite strong 3rd party firmware base. There's a lot of aftermarket one's for it.

I'd say try changing the ex7700's firmware first and see how it does.

I downgraded to .210 a little over 2 hours ago and it’s been stable since. This is the longest period of stability I’ve had since installing the product.

I’ll post back after I’ve given this more time to burn in.
