Downloaded and installed for a RAX43. Initially left the config the same and did nothing else but the upgrade. WIFI immediately began to misbehave and the RAX43 became unstable. Approx every 5-10 mins WIFI on both bands 2Ghz and 5Ghz would disconnect effecting multiple devices (iPhone, iMac, Windows 11 PC). Seems the WIFI will not maintain a stable connection.
Advice is to make sure you have plenty of time to play with this version as quite possibly a complete reconfigure will be required. That is a shame considering it's only a firmware upgrade.
When time permits, will do a complete reset and reconfigure to see if the results are different and provide further feedback. In the meantime, rolled back to a known good working FW which caused a factory reset so make sure you have an old config backup handy, just in case.
Looking forward to seeing others experiences.
It is recommended that if you do encounter problems after a FW update, that a Factory reset maybe needed. Set up from scratch WITHOUT loading a saved configuration from backup file. Older configs may not be compatible with newer versions of FW.
Good Luck.
