WOW another beta???

What does this one supposedly fix?

 

[sentinelvdx]

Don't have the changelog yet, I have it to test it with another thing.
I'll post it as soon as I have it.

That's for the 87u, not the 68u, also - there isn't really any changelog.

Well, it's up on official site but with the Japan only warning...

Works well for me, a strange timeout after login with the GUI but it works.
Higher WiFi-speeds!


.7498 with AC68U and .7410 with my N66U. (both beta versions)

EDIT Thread was about .7449..... sorry about that!

Don't worry, the Japan only could be for something legal or something related to comply with X country regulations, but it works on any AC68U device.

Well, regulations....

Nevertheless, seems to be a nice firmware, installed it yesterday.

Installed .7498 on my AC68U but I can't get the 5GHz repeater functionality working.
As an AP I use the AC87u with firmware .7449.

With previous firmware versions it was working fine.
Anybody else experiencing the same issue?

7498 is working ok so far. But I will jump to a non beta version as soon as I spot one.

The issue was not in the AC68U firmware but it is in the AC87u firmware.
Apparently the AC87U does not give any IP addresses via DHCP to clients connected through the repeater (AC68U) firmware.
It only does for a short while after a reboot

Problem only with 5 ghz? Are you only repeating the 5 ghz? Usually it allows it to repeat both 2.4 and 5 ghz at same time.

Indeed the AC68U repeats the 5GHz signal. Not sure if the problems also exists for 2.4GHz.
