New - R7000 Firmware Version 1.0.11.216 Released

I haven't been on this site for 18 months because the R7000s in both my FL and CA homes have run perfectly on 1.0.11.136, unlike most previous FW revs with bugs that drove me nuts over the 8 years I've owned these routers. So I'm a little worried about updating to '216 untill I see some posts from brave pioneers.

One question I have for pioneers is - Did you install '216 directly over '136 without a factory reset?

Another question is - How many fixed IP addresses do you have?

This has been a big headache for me because I often had intermittent FW bugs later appear and only go away if I did a factory reset and re-installed the same FW, which required me to manually re-enter my entire configuration, which includes many fixed IP addresses.  I've wondered if having many fixed IP addresses caused the problems, so for many years I automatically did a factory reset with every FW undate.  Big pain.  Often I found that the new FW was buggy anyway.

My R7000s came very close to the trash bin many times, but '136 changed my mind.  When my R7000s work, they work well.  Wifi coverage is great.  Better than any of my neighbors with single centrally-located routers.   They all had to go to mesh systems and are amazed at the R7000 coverage throughout both my homes.
