How is the update so far? I haven't tested yet.

I hope this will fix the UI issue?

With the last beta, the UI becomes inaccessiable (very slow response) after the system is up for a few days and require hard reset.

I haven't tried it yet. Given the last firmware caused problems with wireless backhaul, I might wait to hear how others are doing.

thank you!!!

Just to let you know guys that I installed this new Beta in my mesh system, so far everything is running with no issues.

Yep. Same here

Is the UI issue that cannot apply changes in Wireless - Processional fixed?

How's the AiMesh and wireless stability vs 22127?

so far no issues, its pretty stable no disconnects at all.

 

[juswil]

Can confirm. Very stable so far.

I have a bit more complicated setup with 2 10G netgear unmanaged switch in between the ET12 router and 3 other ET12 mesh nodes. I find that on 22127, AiMesh can bonky across 2 switches (nodes are getting dropped with RED LED) while the wired clients (to the 2nd switch and the ET12s in Aimesh nodes mode) still connect fine. So a bit hestitant to try. Only stable firmware for me is the 21739..... If the AiMesh is stable in more complicated setups, I might give this a try.

 

[HKcow]

I gave the new beta a try.. So far is ok.

No issue on UI not responding.
No issue on committing Wifi-Professional setting.
No on Guest network provided that you set the correct VLAN in the managed switch in between.

However it is just 1-2 days.. worth to take a longer look...

Took one for the team and upgraded. I was setup for dual WAN failover with fallback disabled. For some reason it would not use the primary WAN and always restarted with the backup active. I enabled failover and all seems to be working so far.
Setup: Router mode, three node mesh, wired backhaul, WAN failover.

I tried it, it seemed to improve things for my 6e speed, however I could not get this firmware to work with my Ring devices at all - just couldnt connect with them I guess. Reverted back and everything is hunky dory. Same network settings.

It happened to me with some devices and it was due to having wpa 3 on the 5gz. I put it to wpa2 personal only and that solved the problems. Hope it works for u

Yeah. I tried that unfortunately it worked for all devices except for the ring devices. I think it was something very specific to them.

Same problem here with 3.0.0.4.388.22127. I'm on 3.0.0.4.388.21739.

@rsnhakan so far, no issues with nodes disconnecting using this beta. I'll post a longer term update next week or sooner if I encounter issues.
