I was just about to post that my 2 XT8s updated to this firmware...

 

[TMcC]

Think I’ll wait a bit until some intrepid souls have given it test.

 

[majika]

Sup,
I was just having a check over my network, low and behold there I could see the Flashing/Blinking Yellow explanation mark icon in top right..
A Click and a press and all done.. My Mesh and Node updated to latest FW

Testing now..

2. Fixed 2.5G port compatibility issues.

I wonder if this fixes the Verizon FIOS upload speed issue. Might take a while before I can get around to testing it but it would be nice to reclaim one of the ports on my router.

Updated this morning. So far, everything seems to work fine. Don’t see a difference in RAM usage. Still at 85%. But I guess that’s normal.

 

[jcboliveira]

It solves the wireguard log problem.

 

[Raven76]

Updated one of my 2 xt8 intallations... no problems for now...

 

[Dodgydrains]

Updated all 4 xt8's via the app, no issues so far after 12 hours uptime.

Anyone having issue of WIFI download speed capped at around 200Mbps after using firmware Version 3.0.0.4.388.21617? previously I am able to get around 400Mbps for the download speed using speed test.

iPhone Roamingproblem in wifi 6 AX mode reapers after nearly two years. Back to 3.0.0.4.388.21099.

I had some weird speed slowdown issues on WAN after a dirty upgrade. Rebooted all network hardware and it appears to have resolved itself. System is "behaving" as of right now. 2 XT8s with wireless backhaul.

Has anyone else noticed that the device icon in the web view now also looks different and can no longer be changed in color?
I just did a dirty upgrade from the last beta firmware but no reset yet. Everything else looks good.

Potentially a coincidence, but since this upgrade I've noticed my WiFi network has been dropping out regularly across multiple different devices. Anyone has similar issues?

Annoyingly I've also introduced a new devices to the network which could be the cause but I can't think why it would be. Its a Netatmo Weather Station.

My setup has worked without issues for many months if not a year plus. But incase it helps this is what my setup looks like:

So I'm left scratching my head alittle.

Mine also looks like this:

Do you really have two signal pathways between the modem and the AP? That's a seriously bad idea. Maybe you somehow got away with it before, but I'm surprised that it hasn't been giving problems from the start.

I found the cause of the wifi download speed reduced, It is due to Enable "WireGuard VPN" in router. After disabled it, the speed back to normal.

 

[RogerSC]

Decided to give this latest firmware version a shot. The previous version, 3.0.0.4.388.21099, worked well for about a week, then rebooted. So I went back to 49873 that was actually perfect *smile*. Hoping that this one works well over time. So far so good, but it's early yet.

Oh yeah, I should mention that we have two nodes using wireless backhaul. And I reset both nodes back to factory defaults via the WPS switch after the flash due to changing from "386" family to "388" firmware family.

 

[Raven76]

Updated one of my 2 xt8 intallations... no problems for now...

Updated my second XT8s installation too (4 Xt8)... all ok...
