Has anyone tried to downgrade/re-flash from the latest beta to this release version?

I did it with no issues, was on the latest bata and manually put this and so far all good. Backhaul link is more solid now in this version, in the latest beta it was yellow all time.

Firmware is running fine, I have 3 nodes.
Installed it dirty without a full reset
I notice that the CPU’S are more busy now, but I don’t know why, i don’t see any strange loggings or what’s so ever.
It’s also running al little bit hotter.
After reboot it stays the same.
Installed this firmware a week ago

Been couple of days since I dirty updated to 23013 from 21739. The setup has been very stable with no issues. There's one hick up on one of the nodes in that devices connected to 6G got an IP address but no internet connection. Rebooted that node and has been fine for 12 hours and going.....

Downgraded from Beta 9.0.0.6.102.4856 to this released version a few days ago and everything seems to be working fine. Three node mesh with wired backhaul.

So last Beta is actually having a later version compare to this new official release?

 

[L&LD]

Yes, Beta firmware is on level x.0.0.6.xxxx, not x.0.0.4.xxxx.

 

[SonicYellow]

Traffic Analyzer stop working after 10 days of uptime. Reboot solve the issue.

First issue on mine. AiMesh UI does not display correctly. Tried on different browsers (Edge/Chrome) and on Windows machines and my Android phone. Same issue.

 

[Pmlonewolf68]

I had to revert my firmware back to .21xxx - this firmware was causing some of my security cameras to constantly disconnect

 

[HKcow]

I am on beta struggling should i upgrade (/ downgrade) to this latest stable version?

i actually upgraded to the latest stable. It got very problematic

 

[HKcow]

i actually upgraded to the latest stable. It got very problematic

In this case I would stay longer on the current latest beta...

Sorry I meant to say the beta got very problematic. That's why I went to the latest stable.

On the beta - rebooting cased some of the guest networks to be unavailable and it was annoying. For instance, my IOT network had to be restarted several times before my devices would re connect

OK, so you actually mean the latest stable version is better than the latest beta.

For me, I am currently using the beta and experienced no big issue. That's why I am struggling to go back to stable firmware.. as I had a bad time with the previous stable version.. the UI will become unresponsive after serveral days and one of my node would always get disconnect after a few days...

Well, most stable on my ET12 so far. 13 days and counting with no issue or UI slow down whatsoever. And 13 days ago I manually rebooted the router just to refresh to a more advantageous IP range with my ISP, not because of any issue with the system.....

Yep. Its smooth like butter

First issue for me. DNS on the router stopped responding today (after > 19 days uptime). Rebooting solved the issue. Will see if it reoccurs.
