Hi FURRYe38:

So far so good (very short timeframe). Also, changed the NTP server from Netgear's to time.nist.gov. If I continue to have connectivity issues, I'll do the factory reset and re-setup from scratch. Thanks for your help.

Two spontaneous reboots of the RBR50. Something seems amiss.

Is Traffic Meter enabled? Disable it if it is. Same for Armor or Circle.

Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and Orbi system been performed since last update?

I powered it off, disconnected the power cable for a minute and rebooted. Traffic meter has never been touched so it should be at the default (off). 24 hrs and so far so good with latest FW.
Hard to believe that after this many years and FW updates that Netgear can't get a handle on these issues, or give detailed instruction how to properly update the FW to insure stable uptime.

  true...or you could be like me and NOT do firmware updates until they had time to be exposed to the general population. Thank you
