Latest Firmware (V4.6.3.16) Broken My Internal Static Routes To Site To Site Tunnel Device

The latest firmware update has broken my static routes to my 

 

I have the Orbi serving the internet / wifi for my house. For business purposes I have a Fortigate 30E that has one port on the internal network, and a separate one to the WAN. Whenever I request a specific subnet the Orbi used to take those requests and forward them to my Fortigate. It worked like a charm for as long as I have had this Orbi (and my previous Orbi as well.. I would say 3 years)

 

Then out of nowhere the Orbi auto updates to this latest firmware and it broke. I cannot get it to downgrade to another firmware or anything to happen. How do I get this fixed? I even tried to buy support from the website but it says I am in the wrong country (I am US). Are there beta firmwares to try? I dont even know how to report this to the devs to make sure it gets fixed.

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

Is Armor or Smart Parental controls enabled?

You can down grade the RBR normally, however to downgrade the RBR, follow this:

Can you use your Fotigate to block update services for Orbi?

It has been a few days and nothing released. Is there any beta firmware I could try that you know of?
