In answer to your question - no. I had the problem and tried many reboots - unplug and other things tech support suggested to fix the issue. Nothing worked.
 

They swapped out a replacement under warranty which included a newer firmware version which I presently have. It has been working well since received several months ago.

Has anybody who had this issue ever found it to be fixable by and form of update, reboot, reset, etc. ?  Without swapping units?

I am think of getting a Wifi7 2 station unit and just use my working XE5300 units as an additional station.  

 

I am out of warranty and not willing to fiddle with this units any more, I have moved and swapped them enough and as I

said the unit I have now is a warranty replacement from having the problem on the original.  So going to buy something new.

They said they'd give me a discount if I give the Amazon link, which I did and they said I was showing them a refurb unit

on Amazon - which it is not and was from their store on Amazon.  So giving up on support, I just live with this for now.

 

But was curious if this problem ever got fixed without a replacement?

In answer to your question, no. Nothing except a replacement worked. I tried many reboots/unplug replug and other suggestions from tech support all which did not work. 
 

They finally sent me a replacement three pack that had newer firmware than the original. These have been working well without issue for the last several months.
