I bough the router on Amazon Warehouse, the router was stuck and wasn't booting. Following differnt procedures I managed to reflash the firmware and make it work (if we can say so). First of all I am very deluded, I was expecting another product for this price point. The only thing that differenciate this product from the others is WiFi6, others doesn't have it but are solid and probably are based on linux. :smileyfrustrated:
Anyway, I'm experiencing the same problems described by all the people in this thread and after all this time passed without any fix, I just want to get rid of it.
It's frustrating that I also cannot sell it, I don't want to scam people.
Next router I will choose something else. Very sad. :smileysad:
itsmehueyhow is going with the beta firmware?
any way you can return the router? if you can, do it. honestly it will save you so much headache.
the beta is surprisingly going strong. as mentioned, I only encountered one initial wifi drop on the first day that I installed it, but since then, 2 weeks after, I haven't had any drops and have AX enabled. All my wifi6 devices connect fine and are working well.

Thak you itsmehuey !
Unfortunately I can't return it back, the window is expired. How ever I'm wondering, how much does it take to boot? I'm currently running Firmware Version V1.0.3.64_1.0.1 and it take an avg of 4 minutes to complete the boot (red light stop flashing and become green). With the V1.0.3.80_1.0.1 was not that much faster.
- itsmehueyOct 22, 2020LuminaryYeah that sucks man. I wish I had returned mine whilst I still could. Now I’m stuck with it.
Boot up time takes 4-5 minutes sometimes. I think on beta it’s about 3 minutes. When I first got it the initial boot up took like 7 minutes!!! So not optimised at all.- ronald_frOct 22, 2020Luminary
