Had you seen this behavior on FW v.21 as well?
Since v.31 has been out, though were seeing more issues with 750 series and some on the 960 series, not really confident that v.31 is a stable FW as v.21 is.

I didn't know there was an update, I will try. To be honest I'm quite weary by now of upgrading firmware as it was the latest upgrade that introduced me to a world of pain... while I was outside of the country my house went dark. 😬 But I have the previous firmware version here and a backup; I should be good with that. Just have to find some motivation. Sort of enjoying the situation where I'm not losing sleep trying to fix my network 😂
v.21 is a downgrade. FYI, v.21 was beta tested and lots of users helped out on that BEFORE it was released so after testing, it had mostly a good release and good user experiences. We didn't get a chance to beta test v.31 so I've been seeing posts over past month in regards to users not having great experiences with it. So been recommending for users having problems on v.31, go back to v.21. 🙄
Completely understand Sir. If it's working, run it and relax man. 😉
Yeah... I'm a big fan of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" 🙂
Ya, that too. 👍
