I have factory reset everything and started again, the Router GUI is completly wrong, showing devices connected to Router instead of Satellite, 2.4ghz instead of 5ghz. it's a mess.

    Happening in different browsers?

    Besure to clear the browser cache before entering into the routers web page...

    I also have some devices plugged in via ethernet showing up as hooked to the router on its GUI, instead of correctly being reported as wired onto the satellite.

      So is anyone else getting 5ghz connection as unkown even if your do a manual firmware update with a factory reset?

      Possile this may have been intended as a more simple way to show connected devices on the router. Maybe NG support can provide some behavior information.

        Another bug:

        It’s enabled the guest network without my knowledge while the GUI says it’s off. Had to enable it and disable it to make sure it’s off.

        Very buggy firmware.

    Can you log into the Satellites UI and see whats connected at the satellite?

      The Satielle GUI works fine and shows the correct devices and correct radio they are connected to. The Router GUI is currently broken :(.

        My speeds have dropped to 40mbps on the first day after I did a reboot. Using the old firmware it took 5 days or so for my speeds to drop. My old $50 router was better than this. I can’t believe this cost over 300 and doesn’t hardly work. Very disappointing. Everything was working except for the status reporting until I just tested my speeds and got 40mbps.
