Excellent. This is a really important firmware update feature-wise. I was waiting on both QoS and Smart Parental Controls. I updated a few days ago and so far everything seems to be working as expected. I hosted a full-day Zoom event yesterday with zero disconnections. QoS and SPC were both enabled. Nice work! Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback. Glad it working well. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Enjoy. 📡- MitcherMay 21, 2022Guide
Backup taken. Thank you for the reminder. I have been running this firmware now for a couple of weeks since its launch. It has been very stable. I did some testing regarding QoS and it seems to be working properly. In addition, I purchased SPC and that too is working properly. Thanks again for a great release!

Hopefully this is the right place to report this.
I have 2 external drives attached to each of the router's 2 USB ports. Beginning with version 1.09.78, when you access media though a media player (e.g. smart TV, Roku), it will see both drives BUT it will show that one of them is empty. It's always the 2nd one you plugged in. I know because I unplugged both and plugged in the 2nd one first. Now the one that was previously empty is now full, whereas the other is empty. This happens only when using a media player. There is no problem with either drive when using a computer.
Rather than revert to an older firmware, I moved all my media to the 1st drive so the media players can access them. Keep in mind this is just a workaround. It says this release "Fixes ReadyShare add/edit/browse folder issue". I don't what them mean by this, but it's not the issue I'm having.
Other than this 1.0.10.82 is great. I love the option being able to "blend" WPA2 and WPA3. Previously I couldn't use WPA3 because of legacy devices on my network.
