Did you power OFF the system for 1 miinute then back on after the FW update?
Go back to v16 or what was working.

I updated today and now my daughter's Nintendo Switch regularly disconnects while playing online. Previous firmware had no issues.
Oddly enough the release notes indicate this new version addresses Nintendo Switch connectivity. Sigh!

I powered off for 5 minutes after update. I already downgraded to .16 and everything is stable again.

I had to just downgrade back to 2.5.1.16 because the latest firmware wrecked our wifi on all devices. Running speedtest via Orbi app shows we're still getting full signal from the pole but if you try to run it in browser, it won't even connect. Every device is slow. Tried all the usual reboots, etc but nothing has worked. So frustrating for them to release firmware that makes the products unusable. Our kids schoolwork could barely connect. I'll be staying with 2.5.1.16 for good.
