I'm in the midst of the update now - I manually uodated the firmware (that went fine), and did a full factory reset and NVRAM-clear so far...

I'm not too deep into rebuilding my settings yet, but I did notice that the 3 options for Implicit Beamforming, MU-MIMO, and Fast Transition are all UNchecked by default - IIRC, those were all checked by default in .72

I'm planning to leave all three unchecked myself, but we'll see how it goes!

  That has got to be a mistake in their clearing routine. I've found those options very stable on .72, and if they are not on .74 I'll revert back to .72 until the next release.

    So, as you discovered, we posted the new version on the support -> download site for you to apply to your systems. the auto-firmware push will happen soon, but we're giving you a window to manually apply the firmware upgrade before it gets pushed.
    
    The only difference between .72 and .74 are a some bug fixes.

  Hi,
  
  When doing a firmware upgrade...you mentioned doing a NVRAM-clear?
  Most times I have done a factor reset at most and don't recall anything mentioned in the instructions on a NVRAM-clear? Can you advise on this one? Or is the NVRAM-clear already done as part of a factory reset?
  
  Thanks
