    Hi all,

     

    Please update the router to the latest firmware version (1.1.0.50).

Hi gali61,

 

As it stands, the beta firmware only specifically adds the IPv6 feature for the R6220 and given it's beta status, it is still under observation. You may manually flash the regular non-beta firmware. There is also no ETA on the release of the current beta firmware as a stable firmware.

I did notice some slowdowns specificially with web browsing but also intermittent lag while watching streams, speedtests showed I was getting full speed but for some reason it felt like I wasn't receiving high enough bandwidth. Re-flashed 1.1.0.34 and everything is well. I appreciate the trial of the firmware, though. Adding input for further research.

    Hi Orosta,

     

    Thank you for the input. May I know if you did a factory reset after flashing the beta firmware?
