I had issues with this firmware when tried three times until I stuck a router in front of it. It would not stay up more than 2 hours. After setting this to ap mode it has been up days. As router firewall is blocking traffic no more Dos attacks and no more reboots. As far as I see it that is the issue here.

Rainmachine lost connection again...about 2 -3 days after setting up the static IP address. Don't know why it seems very related to time. Definitely seems to be a bug for Netgear to work out.

Was a full factory reset performed on both router and satellite then set up from scratch after installing the beta FW?

I am now approaching 7 days with a solid signal. Only issue was my HP printer on 2.4gHz would need to be restarted daily but I just applied a static IP address to it in hopes of fixing that issue. I did manually reset both router and sat prior to installing the last known “safe” firmware which was unstable for me. This one has been good!
Just installed Vers 2.1.3.4 and I am cautiously optimistic. First time my satellite unit has been turned in several months. If it is reasonably stable, I will post kudos for this latest beta firmware.

I (like others) dont believe that a factory reset should be a necessity. Especially in my case where I have a long list of port forwarding going on ...
Please do a full factory reset and set up from scratch on both router and satellites. While normal official released FW would follow not resetting, this is a Beta FW which probably has major improvements to the code which needs a good clean slate to start from. Doing a reset allows for the code to be seated well and given a chance to work well. You can do a new configuration to file after setting it up for this version of FW as well for later use.
Others have seen follow on problems after updateing however the problems went away after doing a reset and setup again.

I am trying to update from V2.1.2.18 to this beta V2.1.3.4 but it only worked on my satellites. When i try to use the same file to update the router i get the following "This firmware file is incorrect! Please get the firmware file again and make sure it is the correct firmware for this product."
Just curious what i am doing wrong. I did download multiple times and it seems to be working on the satellites.
I am in high hopes that this fixes satellites being disconnected because i am at the end of my rope on this issue.
And i just realized that router is actually a different model number. (facepalm)

The router firmware is a differeny file. it will startr with RBR
V2.1.3.4 firmware has been good no crashes for a week (used to happen almsot twice a day)
have noticed some *dns dropping(what my software complains about) related lag if mildly (5-10mbs) using more then 5 devices regardless if LAN or WAN ** havent had time to play with it
also have allot of false DoS attack rst scanns from google/amazon/netflix servers sometimes heavy playback lag of videos is created because of it.
Sorry ... previous post timed out as I was trying to replace the picture.
Is this normal for a RBK53 with no daisy-chaining topology, Beamforming, MU-MIMO, and fast roaming?
What are LAN 1 and LAN 2?
I seem to recall LAN 1 and LAN 2 having a value before.
LAN 1,2 and 3 are the ethernet ports on the back of the router. According to your attached image, you have an ethernet/wired network device plugged into LAN 2
I have had some DNS issues too. Did a paper clip reset and they stopped. Not sure if that was the difference. A friend of mine on the beta firmware was having dns issues too going to basic sites like gmail would say it couldn’t get there.

It's highly recommeded to do a factory reset after upgrading FW and set up from scratch. I've seen issues myself and other with just upgrading FW over top of prior FW and having issues. Doing a full factory reset on the entire system after a FW update then setup from scratch resolves these issues.
