This firmware update constantly breaks the wifi on my router. I keep reverting to an older firmware and it just updates again after a few days. This is the same issue I had with the previous CAX30 that was replaced under warranty.
I'm done with this. Purchasing a different router and moving beyond this product.

What do you mean by breaks the wifi on your router?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed the FW is updated?
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?This FW was tested well and by some of us users before it was released. Saw no Wi-Fi issues.

As soon as the router auto updates to version 2.2.2.2 wifi no longer works. Only network access via ethernet works.
The only solution is to restart the router. But the same issue will happen again.
Wifi only works regularly on the older firmware.
The same issue existed prior. When the router ware replaced via warranty I deliberately never updated the firmware.
But the firmware auto updates now and cannot be disabled.
I'm no longer fiddling with this product and replacing it.

A factory reset would need to be performed to see if this resolves this issue. Seems like this or the units you have are the only ones experiencing this. I ran mine for weeks after mine was updated. WiFi solid and working fine.
Good luck then.
