Hi,
For when the final version with everything corrected?
Thanks

Wondering that too.
We know the R7900P, R7960P & R8000P use exactly the same firmware file, however from what I can tell the R7900P and R8000P are at EOL, while the R7960P is not.
The buggy 1.4.4.94 firmware was released almost a year ago (Oct '22) and the best we have is a beta release to address its issues (thanks for at least that). But as others point out, even the beta has some issues too.
Will we ever get an official new firmware or are we just dead in the water? I've searched high/low for open firmware and the best I can find is OPENWRT for an R8000P however folks complained of no wi-fi, only wired. I tired to flash mine, but could not get the TTL interface to work.
Oh I wish any open firmware was an option for us.

Would you like the beta FW version that fixes the IP address reservation issue?
