I'm surprised that they released another firmware update this quickly with so many fixes. Guess they were goofing off too hard before lol.

Report it: MLO wireless backhaul does not activate with wifi 7 satellites (BQ16 in my case), MLO backhaul bands not selectable (obviously after activating the MLO option), upload and download speeds disappeared again from the adaptive QoS options (they were present in the previous firmware).

Meld het: MLO draadloze backhaul wordt niet geactiveerd met wifi 7-satellieten (BQ16 in mijn geval), MLO-backhaulbanden kunnen niet worden geselecteerd (uiteraard na het activeren van de MLO-optie), upload- en downloadsnelheden zijn weer verdwenen uit de adaptieve QoS-opties (ze waren aanwezig in de vorige firmware).

Dan heb je wat verkeerd staan ...hier geen problemen

If you have ROG GT6 as the child node, this firmware will make GT6 into reboot loop. So stay away from it if you use BE98 as master node and GT6 as child node. I had to restore back the firmware of my BE98 to resolve the reboot loop on GT6.
Stable firmware so far for this config :
BE98 - 3.0.0.6.102_36878 (Main)
GT6 - 3.0.0.4.388_24595 (Child node)

Hope it helps

The backhaul MLO not working has been a problem for me for several versions now, are you saying that has worked with earlier recent revisions for you?

Link is not working anymore. But router pick it up on it's own and flash it. For now everything is working normally. Need to test a bit that 5G fix.

I still have issues with the AIMESH not accepting wifi connections from an ANDROID mobile phone (Motorola) and a TIZEN (Samsung) TV. They both connect flawlessly on the main router/node but impossible to connect on the AIMESH node. Whereas this was working fine 2 firmwares ago. Already did a full reset and reconfigured, re-installed the aimesh node but no luck.

The WAN block on GUEST network has been fixed in this version. Hooray.

Cross fingers for the rest.

No, it didn't even work before

Which FW version does your BQ16 have atm?
I'm using the BE98 (FW 36911) as an AP and a BQ16 as a mesh node with MLO. In case of BQ16 any FW newer than 36801 breaks MLO backhaul (additionally, backhaul priority should be set to auto, otherwise it won't work).

Edit: Just flashed 37838, MLO backhaul is still OK in combination with BQ16 (FW 36801). And finally "Hide SSID" option is visible (Network tab) on the GUI again!
