Ok, so far I've found 2 things that bothers me.
-Time to Apply each settings takes forever... in comparison with previous releases
-DDNS not working (I use ASUS.COM DDNS), it's giving an error when trying to register my domain

Or the message "Unable to Connect to the Internet"

Yep, I did a hard reset using the button on the back and reconfigure everything manually. I do that on each firmware release (even when it's not required)

Then you are right about it, they goofed it.

It would be great if someon can test it too

I dont use ASUS DDNS.

After I logon to the router to view and change the settings - after a few minutes if I attempt to change any setting the process just hangs on the spinning wheel and 'applying changes ' dialogue box and no changes are applied. Anybody else having similar issues. Yes , I did do a reset - twice ( both the 5 sec reset button method and the 15 sec WPS button with power up method) .

The guy reported no issues with ASUS DDNS.

Wim7vs, my router is taking longer ti apply settings, when on previous versions was really fast. But it does not hang.

Hggomes, yes... they gave me that answer. I'll try again a new hard reset and see what happens. Ill update this post in a couple of minutes
UPDATE: So far I'm unable to ping nwsrv-ns1.asus.com:80

May 14 11:18:41 rc_service: httpd 447:notify_rc restart_ddns
May 14 11:18:42 ddns update: ez-ipupdate: starting...
May 14 11:19:27 ddns update: error connecting to nwsrv-ns1.asus.com:80
May 14 11:19:27 ddns update: asusddns_update: 1

I'm suspecting they changed the ASUS DDNS server and applied some area restriction, cause I'm unable to ping it and with previous firmware I can register my alias without issues at all.

UPDATE 2: Solved, for some reason now I'm able to reach it.

I really like this new firmware, it feels like everything is faster now.

Bud after reapplying the firmware because I was troubleshooting the DDNS issue, I've noticed that the lag was solved. try that.

Another beta? Been waiting for the final official release and we get this.

I was expecting the same, but at least is something. Pretty stable so far

After attempting to switch on the traffic analyzer (http://10.0.0.1/TrafficAnalyzer_Statistic.asp) , I cannot change any other settings. Any body else experience this ?

Sorry, I didn't undertstand your problem. Can you explain in detail (so I can replicate that scenario on mine and see if it happens)

That can happen if the JFFS partition is disabled, which could be the case if you came from a third party firmware and failed to do the required factory default reset.
