Forgot to add that I had upgraded the firmware to try and address a problem with intermittent Internet disconnects. Happened about every 2 to 3 days. Setting the router to reboot every morning didn't fix it, but rebooting EITHER the modem OR the router seemed to work. Thought the new firmware resolved it, but right as I was writing my reply, it disconnected. I now believe it is confined to the modem, so no more on that topic. I will post separately on something new that may, or may not, be related to the firmware.

Have your ISP service lines and modem checked.

Email IMAP problem since upgrading.

Cannot say if this is related to the new firmware or not, but it happened about 1 day after upgrading to it, and there are no other reasons I can determine so far. I have been using Bluehost for my hosting and email on my named domain. I have 8 different email accounts on that domain, all configured as IMAP via secure access. I use Outlook on 2 PCs and have 2 Android devices that all access it. I've had zero problems until right after upgrading the router firmware. A day or so after doing so, I could no longer log into my primary IMAP email account because of a [Too many IP addresses [20] accessing account] error; webmail worked fine, so the account was still up. Error occurring on all of my devices with email clients, and could not resolve through any settings changes. No errors or blocks reported by Norton. Also, confined to my primary email account, not all of the email accounts on my domain; but then I poll my primary account more often than any other.

I have configured the router to save the system log to my main PC, using its IP address, but either it does not do so or I just can't find it, so I can't say if the router is reporting any errors or bounce-backs. A week after filing a trouble ticket, Bluehost responded by saying that I had a bunch of blacklisted IP addresses now, and that it looked like I may have been sending out large numbers of emails or spam, but I have not and nobody has sent me an email saying they were getting spam from me. Unfortunately, I cannot access the logs on Bluehost to see what IP addresses they are referring to, and they've not yet responded.

I fully realize that there are still many possible reasons for this problem suddenly appearing, including a hosting service that has gone to,,,, well, you know where. I only report it here because it began a day after upgrading the firmware. Don't know how long it will take to resolve it, so I can't say much more at the moment.

I think if it were FW related tou would have noticed immediately. If it was a day later after, I would presume it would be some in ur email system.

[kvedt]

Yeah, I think it's the same thing. I only reported it because of the timing, and how mobile device email clients sometimes access email accounts too often even when they are set to poll on a schedule. My twisted reasoning for putting those two things together was that perhaps somehow the router, which is set for DHCP, was sending different IP addresses each time. But that was a long shot to begin with. I will now stop clogging the thread with this topic.

Thx

Might set up so me IP address reservations for your devices as well. 
Good luck.

It seems that after the 890L has been set up and online for an extended period of time, I am unable to change a device name NOR reserve an IP address.  I've tried both Safari web browser and Firefox web browser.  I'm using the BETA FW v1.09 Build 08.  When I initially loaded the beta FW version, I was able to rename devices AND reserve IP addresses.

Hoping a few 890L owners might be able to test and report back.

Thanks

Nope - all are running OS X El Capitan

[FurryNutz]

Ok, I'll check my Mini thats dual booted with Yosmite and El Captian

[mystiky]

So, any updates of how close we are either to the next beta or the full-release?  Its now been 2+ months since the BETA 08 release.

[FurryNutz]

I wish I had something to report. All I can say is that they are aware of the issues at hand and are working on them.

Please be patient.
