Apologies for the delay in updating however I wanted to leave this a while to give a fair appraisal of reverting to V1.0.6.116.
The process of reverting was somewhat painful as these things generally are under NG however I can now happily report that the ONLY problem I previously reported that I still have an issue with is the SpeedTest under the App which is still refusing to play ball. This would suggest this was not related to the new firmware after all - not something I use frequently so not a problem for me anyway.
I must vent however - my saved settings under the latest firmware (v1.1.6.122) did not reload after reverting to V1.0.6.116 and factory resetting. Also trying to re-configure the LAN setup i.e. naming devices, reserving IP addresses, assigning a higher IP address range all proved painful ....
- identify attached devices by assigning device names etc sometimes lost the details I updated.
- trying to reserve an ip address for a previously named device threw errors - device name was too long although it was accepted previously.
- multiple devices being assigned the same IP address!!!
- unreserved devices being assigned an ip address below the DNS IP address range of 100+.
These are all problems I've had countless times before on different firmware versions. I'm a software developer so I it never ceases to amaze me how NG can get the fundamentals so wrong, and care so little! Happy Days :)

I've let NG know about issues being seen with this version of FW.
I'll recommend that users avoid updating to this version and not use it.
Be sure to disable Auto Update to help keep the prior working FW version loaded on your MK systems.
