Excellent, glad you've had some positive progress. Do you use WhatsApp or Alexa for voice and/or video calls?

It’s been a while since I posted here because a I was a very early adopter of this new firmware version and so really not had any issues since then and everything has returned to pre-firmware levels.
Since before Covid I work from home have several webEx and team chats daily as well as voip calls. Use vpn and watch movies and listen to stuff.
All levels and speeds are normal. The previous issue of iOS devices Dropping and not being able to rejoin anything has gone away with this latest firmware. Also had a minor issue where some other Wi-Fi plugs or the front door lock would drop and reconnect within a 30 second time frame that has gone away.
My setting for my set up has always been vanilla out of the box and I only adjusted 2.4 down to 50% which allowed a better distribution of devices over the satellites and the main device.
Saw people talking about slow connection to do with iOS devices. For me that kind of always happened before all these firmware issues where it would not necessarily connect at five and would seem to always go to 2.4. So when I get onto my iMac or when I go to my phone I will just disconnect and reconnect the Wi-Fi and then I would run a speed test and I will get Max speeds. A week ago I would run a speed test before and get much slower speeds then do the disconnect reconnect of Wi-Fi it seemed to jump onto the 5.0 and everything was screaming fast. Sadly this issue did happen before with all previous firmware versions. A little annoying but not super bad.
Yes I have backed up my current one and I have many back ups of previous ones. Am on fiber optics and it a independent company set up by my small city utilities (so like water )
Get speeds of 500+ wireless and 800+ wired in satellites
So , so far so good for me
