Not seeing that here in the US still shows the latest beta.

EDIT: Ok see it in the US now it's under Win 10 32 bit. Nothing for the AC-3100 as of yet.

Thanks for the update. Hopefully RT3100 pops later this afternoon

Working OK for me, didn't do a factory reset and no issues so far. Having said that the previous beta release was rock solid on the AC88U too....

stock asus firmwares are not good because they not have support for jffs....

I've been wondering this. So you didn't do a factory reset and everything is OK. But even on previous firmwares where it was specifically noted that we should do a factory reset after updating, I've gone some times without factory resetting after doing the update. And everything was fine. But eventually I still did it, it's just that sometimes I needed a new feature or fix but didn't have the time to completely reconfigure.

So that note about this version not being compatible with previous versions...is that another way to say that we should do a factory reset? They've been pretty clear in the past, sometimes using CAPS LOCK to let us know we should factory reset. Just wanted a clear answer one way or the other because I have some time today and tomorrow to mess around if it's required for this version.

Restore factory defaults and manual configure the router is not mandatory for this update at it self, but...it depends on your current firmware version.
For the RT-AC88U there is not much firmware history yet, otherwise it is wise to restore factory defaults if you skipped a few firmware versions.
In case of doubts or weird results after the upgrade: restore factory defaults and manual configure the router (do NOT load an old configuration backup). Make notes of what your changes are compared to the defaults, this helps you to enter those settings a next time again.

"This version is not compatible with all previously released ASUS firmware and uncertified third party firmware" means you can not straight forward revert to an older firmware version or load a non certified third party firmware version.

Fairly certain as mentioned that's just saying they have implemented the regulatory change which means only official or supported firmwares can be run on the router. I don't believe this has anything to do with configuration, I would generally only perform a default restore if I run into issues or it's specifically mentioned in the release notes.
