Running 3004.388.8 beta1 for more then 9 days now. For me it's running stable and no noticeable issues.

Everything is fine here and the connection seems stable, but I've noticed an issue.

I connected a Tapo camera two days ago to check if it was working. I disconnected it and stored it in a cabinet to only plug it in during the holidays.

However, the router (AX58) hasn't refreshed it and it still appears as connected. I haven't tried restarting it, but if I refresh the devices, it still appears as connected.

It's on the 2.4 GHz band, as is usual with Tapo devices (IP by DHCP).

Thanks for the update, have been running for almost 2 days now, without any issues

Asus has had problems with the network map for as long as I can remember. Asus haven't fixed it, and I believe RMerlin can't fix it as it's closed source.
You'll get used to that.

Successful FW flash. No internet connection on RT-AX68U. Had to roll back to 3004.388.7_0. Have no idea what is wrong with it. Web interface runs perfect. Network utilities show excellent speed. No ping or traceroute problems. But it was totally impossible to reach internet from PC or mobile. "No network available". Luckily I did download both versions old and beta from the source site.

If you were able to traceroute and ping from within the router then your Internet connection from the router to the world was/is fine. The problem would be with the client device(s). Are they getting IP addresses from the router? Proper DNS? Definitely not an issue with the firmware itself.

Already discussed in a previous post - make sure you don't have a VPN killswitch enabled on any of your VPN clients. That's the most common cause of client connectivity issues.
