What browser are you using? Does this happen in FF or Opera?
Do a factory reset after the update and setup from scratch?

I also have the same problem. The entire UI is slow. Some panels will not load at all, such as the large panel on the lower left on the dashboard tab.

Given you are using Edge I suggest you try Firefox or Chrome if you continue to have problems. Edge is compatible but it you run into weird issues like this it's wise going to another browser to see if that resolves the problem

This firmware does make the GUI much slower to open no matter what browser you use when you compare it to the previous version. I did all the factory resets. You can simply go back to the previous and immediately see a considerable difference on how much faster it opens.

Good to know. I suggest downgrading back down to .8 if you're having slow loading issues.

I did and its loading much quicker.

Others reported that doing a factory reset and setup from scratch or clearing ALL browser caches and reopening the browser helps this.

Before I upgrade I always reset to factory. My browsers cache are cleaned each night. Its some what faster with Opera with this latest version, but still faster even with Edge using V1.0.1.8.

Yes, I can confirm as well; the GUI is slower to load.....BUT ITS STABLE!!! I factory reset and have been monitoring it while gaming the last few days on Chrome, Firefox and Edge with no noticeable differences.
If they can keep the router stable AND speed up the GUI, in particular the Network Monitor apps (Network Overview & Network Snapshot) and the Geo Filter apps (Geo-Filter Map and Auto Ping. The GFM doesn't seem to work in real-time so much with Auto-Ping disabled as well btw.
Other than that - everything else seems to work great!
