Please post your experiences. It would be very helpful if people could post the following

1) Is it stable for people using AI Mesh (old 386 firmware crashed)

2) How is the wifi? Is there any lag / delay when browsing websites?

3) Does AI protection / QoS cause bandwidth issues?

4) Any issues with dropped nodes?

5) Any issues with dropped STA's (clients)?

Don't see it yet on website nor in app ? Was able to pick it up by adjusting previous zip link with version number. Installed manually on main router + 2 mesh nodes with no problems. Wait to see what happens.

It's in your router admin page.

It's in your router admin page.

Did not show up there either ....

I did the update a couple of hours ago and so far no problem. I came from the 40451 version.

Yes .. I know where it should be. But it said my firmware was up to date after I used the "check" button ....

Are you using AIMesh? I'm very keen to know if it's stable for AIMesh users. Could you come back and post your uptime after a few days?

Yup, adapted the old link already with succes. But thanks anyway !

I am up and running with 0 problems for 24 hours (1 router + 2 AImesh nodes), wireless backhaul - 30 clients (wired + wireless on all nodes on 2.4. 5.1 and 5.2)

Yup, I'm using AiMesh. I'll be back in a few days.

Thanks - I'll install myself later tonight and report back if any issues.

Hi again, so far it run as it expects do. The only thing is some entries in the log as below. But they were there even before the update.

not mesh client, can't update it's ip

One problem : Sonos one wireless on one node cannot be found from sonos app on devices. No problem when wired or bound to other nodes.
One observation : Tidal app on windows cannot find the Sonos at all, but thats a Tidal problem since Tidal ios apps have no problem

I'm going to keep an eye on this, my main AP has been logging mystery errors for a while now on 41535 so I'm thinking of doing an automated (dirty) upgrade to 41712, then if it's still flaky, maybe a full factory reset of everything over the weekend.

(On that note: I know you're not supposed to import old settings. I don't mind redoing the wireless/system options, that's just a couple of minutes, but I've hand-jammed a custom name for every device on the network and *really* don't want to have to do it again. Any way to import just the client list?)

I have 2 of the ax92u routers in a mesh setup with a wireless backhaul. Previously I had just 1 and it was working without any issues but I had a few dead spots in my house so I purchased a 2nd and have had nothing but issues with the ai mesh. I upgraded to the new firmware and after about 2 days, devices started having issues connecting again. This morning I did a factory reset of both routers (and checked the box to clear the user writable partition) then got the main router up, added the mesh node, then configured all of my settings. I'll check back in a few days to let everyone know if my mesh issues are now resolved or not.

@Thw0rted, did you check out the @Jack Yaz yazDHCP script yet?


Edit: Sorry, just saw the model in the title.

Best not to do a dirty upgrade from 41535, that's the firmware with all the issues.

So I didn't even make it a day before I started having issues and had to reboot the 2 routers last night, devices started to get disconnected and failed to reconnect.

Update: I started having issues again with this firmware. I just switched over to Asuswrt 9.0.0.4_386_41994 and will be trying that instead.
