Its early days but things look promising.

Hi cheops2006

Great I'll inform our engineers

When do you think this new build will become publicly available? Thanks

I only updated our engineers yesterday, once they release the firmware to us, I will post on our esupport website, and also post a link here too

Just a heads, This build has been quite stable regarding stats.

Official firmware can found on the link below

Not a great release. Avoid for now. 5Ghz band not being broadcast correctly. SSID for 2.4Ghz being used by 5Ghz. It is broadcasting at 1300mbps though.

I'm getting an error every 30 or so minutes about WL1. Will paste this in shortly.

This is what I'm getting. Heading back to D12. Ughhhh.

I haven't seen the same issue on my test 8900AX-2400 I have two 5ghz clients connected and 1 connected to the 2.4ghz band, both SSID's are broadcasting with a different SSID (see attached screen shot)

I upgraded with factory default settings, and manually configured from scratch.

I'll check the logs in the next 30 minutes to see if I get the same logs


Apr 7 13:45:28 kern warn kernel: br0: received packet on wl0 with own address as source address, is referring to the 2.4ghz band (I think I have seen this message on my home router once or twice, on older firmware, but it doesn't effect performance)

Update - after 30 minutes up time I haven't see any such messages.

Just found a thread which relates to this log, they had a Intel wireless card, and in the Properties--Configure--Advanced section, change Mixed Mode Protection from its default CTS-to-self Enabled to RTS/CTS Enabled

Maybe you can try a fresh upgrade with the factory defaults, and manually reconfigure the device, also check the devices connected via 2.4ghz band that have a intel wireless card, maybe try making the suggested change above, also wireless repeaters might cause these logs
