And if simply 'dirty' upgrading doesn't get you the stability you seek, you need to see if a full reset helps at that point.

Best Practice Update/Setup Router/AiMesh Node(s) 2021

Are "dirty" upgrades acceptable for nodes?

 

[TXbreees]

Experiencing major stability issues with this release. Going to do a clean firmware flash ASAP. Only one router at my house.

 

[wesselkoning]

Experiencing major stability issues aswell. When I wake up the 2 nodes dont have connection to the internet... Which makes me need to reboot the systeem...

 

[John Kr Skjervik]

I still get fatal error with latest firmware. This story has no end ..., ASUS sorry, this is bad.

Just upgraded the Aimesh node, nothing special noted.

These are my steps:
1. reboot the node, such that I would not connect to it
2. upload firmware manually
3. remove the node, and hard reset the node once more
4. add the node

 

[TXbreees]

Did a soft settings reset. I'll report back on stability changes.

Stable here.
Been seeing about 25% better Speedtest as well.
No Smart Connect, Single node, 5GHz2 AX only.

I'd be interested to see how those who performed clean updates get on with this.

It would be bad news if this firmware turns out to be a dud again. Asus should completely dump any firmware that is unusable.

It's worrying, because a notification is sent via the admin panel and the router performs a dirty update by default.

Did an upgrade using the ASUS app from the previous official release to this one. No issues so far.

A bit disappointed to see no new features, last firmware was 4 months ago. Weren't we supposed to get 802.11k/v/r stuff by now?

 

[MadGoat]

Upgraded here, ax92u main and 1 5ghz node. Running great so far 2 days in.

 

[jswing]

Upgraded via phone app and still have issues where ram usage is between 92 to 95%, constantly. Does anyone else have this issue?

 

[MadGoat]

mine hangs around 87%. The router is working fine however.

 

[HerrSchurz]

Well, think I'll skip this one ... My setup works on 712 (several bugs and flaws now and then) acceptable (not good ! but acceptable). Website offered a beta version as upgrade for a long time (what ?! a beta ??? come on please, thats a shame, using us as your testteam) and now reading about this problems with this new version ... Hope to read better feedback on future versions, such that I might consider upgrading ... Thanks for testing and your comments !

I'd think that RAM usage is normal. The AX92u doesn't have a lot of RAM so the system probably allocates the rest as cache memory.

K/v/r would be really nice. To be honest, I probably won't upgrade now until we are given a new feature. Even then, I'd wait one iteration after that.

Despite not upgrading, what's interesting about this new firmware is it's an update to the beta. Hopefully that means it's stable, hence going official.

So far it's been stable after a WPS hard reset. Only issue I have is that it randomly won't go above 1.0 GBPS until I manually reboot it, then I get 2.4 GBPS.

Did a dirty upgrade from ax92u 9.0.0.4.386_41994 - working better than ever immediately after simple reboot. Memory usage and roaming are perfect, speed is great! Will report back if any problems show up.

That kind of worries me. My back haul connects at 2.5g and we get a lot of users copying huge files over the LAN. STA's connect between 1.7b- 2.5g

What's the RSSI of your back haul? Mine is around-55db
