RBR20 problems after updating firmware to 2.3.5.30

Just used the built-in updater to update my RBR20 and 2 satellites, both RBS20, to firmware 2.3.5.30.

 

Now, I have two problems:

 

First, in Advanced \ Setup \ Internet Setup, I cannot manually set the DNS servers manually unless I also use static IP address. I like to manually set the DNS servers to Google's - 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. When I press "Use These DNS Servers" radio button, nothing happens - the "Get Automatically from ISP" radio button remains selected.

 

Second, in Advanced \ Advanced Setup \ Traffic Meter, the traffic volume shows zero in all fields.

 

Anyone else having the same issues with RBR20 and firmware 2.3.5.30?

What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

 

Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? Please try this...

Did you have Circle or Armor enabled? 

Besure to disable any of these if you had them enabled. Don't enable them when you do a factory reset.
