NOTE: May have long awaited ...
I have been stuck using old firmware on my R8000P (V1.4.1.36_1.3.1) because of the following issues:
- 6to4 tunneling addresses were unable to be set under later firmware
- Performance Optimization Database corruption - the version and release date were blank and I don't think they were working. effects were higher ping times (sometimes into the 1k range) and pages not loading correctly. I do not have a 1Gbps connection so this feature is needed by me. my subscribed internet speed is 10Mbps down / 1Mbps up.
- attached devices page not showing attached devices.- only a factory reset and re-entering of all the settings would fix this and the previous problem, which occurred on an almost bi-weekly basis
have these issues been solved under the latest firmware?
Also.. router autoupdate lists this version but fails to install. attempting to do a manual install results with the router saying the firmware is incorrect.
Are you sure you downloaded the correct FW file for your model Router? There are 3 different models listed in this thread.

Yes I Downloaded It Twice From The R8000p downloads Page. The Router Is Not Accepting The New Firmware, Even As A Manual Update.
