    Thanks.
    Yeah that was my assumption also.
    Well not such a critical bug still something many would like to have working.

      Keep one thing in mind, waiting for the next release may not do anything for you.  NG now only pushes firmware updates that contain major updates.  All others will show (as they did before), whether you install is up to you.  Another guessing game..??

        Retired_Member yeah I here you.
        Well as I said this is more of a annoying bug and s long as the Router is working with the satellites in a stable manner then I'm good👍

        I'm coming from Asus aimesh and it was not an pleasent experience.
