As soon as I updated to R085, I can see and connect to the Almond+ network, but I am unable to connect to the internet on my wireless devices. Everything was working fine before that.
My Almond+ is currently configured in range extender mode
The router diagnostics determine that there is an internet connection and all is well. I am able to log in to the router through its IP address and ping google.com consistently through the securifi settings interface.
I attempted to tweak some of the wireless network settings, rebooted the router several times before and after tweaking the wireless settings.
Unless anyone recommends any good troubleshooting steps to resolve this, I may attempt to roll back to a previous firmware version.
I have the same issue with the update from R083 to R085, with my Almond+ in Range Extender mode.
Even internal network communication across the bridge does not work very well (e.g. my Blu-ray can no longer see the DLNA server on the other side of the bridge, whether on 5GHz or 2.4GHz band) and ICMP ECHO (ping) appears to kill the 5GHz connection pretty quickly.
From the Almond+ 5GHz extended range connection, doing the same on my 5GHz "main" wireless connection has no such issue, nor did the Almond+ have this issue before updating to R085:

Also, my forum account appears to have been erased and I had to create a new one.
Reverting to R083 fixes both the ICMP echo "issue" and my Blu-ray being able to see the DLNA server on the other side of the bridge.
