I had similar issues after changing my DNS from cloudflare to Quad9. Could not access spedtest.net or load other sites properly on the WiFi on any of my devices including the mobile. The problem only happened on some sites and not all.
Then turned off WiFi on the mobile and used mobile data and everything worked fine on the mobile.
Turned out to be a DNS issue and the only way to fix it was to reset the ISP router and set it up from scratch with Quad9 DNS. Rebooting or resetting just the BQ16’s did not fix it.

Yeap, dirty flashed after using the the previous FW for 130+ days uptime with no issues.
Hopefully this one is as stable for me as the last one.

Ebuyer, like many other PC retailers have been struggling a lot after the pandemic. Amazon continues to gobble up that sector of the market. Huge shame as I used to buy many of my PC parts from Ebuyer. It seems like only Amazon will remain standing at the end.

It states full fibre build will start next year in my area.
This will mean even greater competition with Hyperoptic, Community Fibre and VM already available now.

Looks like quite a few security updates in this latest FW release and the update is aligned with the FW release for the BQ16 Pro.

Why did they make it such a pain?
I will just try to avoid rebooting

After each update or reboot, why does it ask for a certificate to be installed to access the web GUI? It looks like a new certificate is needed after every reboot. Is there a way to stop this?
