Absolutely not - i'd been using the extender happily for a while. I happened to change broadband providers recently and as part of that went into the setup to change the wifi source. It suggested the update, applied it and PC's connect ok but no mobile devices can (android/ios)
Just downgraded it to 1.0.062 - resetting it all up from factor reset to see if it helps

Update --- it 'fixes' it for a short time but it's gone again ... again - PC's seem ok but mobile devices are struggling
