All these years of playing with routers (Buffalo, Netgear, TP Link, Amplifi, Asus) and they still can't get the FW issues worked out.... Last few years i've been just purchasing the current higher end models (TP Link AX10000 then the Asus ET12) and now I've moved onto this RS700S and every one of them had some kind of minimal Firmware drama, lol...
My main reason for interest in the current FW is the ability to turn off the wifi radio which I was shocked after discovering it was missing upon setup... I have to admit this is one of the most boring routers I've played with in a while but it appears to be working so I'll let it do its thing for now.
