Hi everyone, if some of your WiFi devices cannot connect to RS700 after the firmware is upgraded to v1.0.9.6, please let us know which WiFi devices they are (brand, model, and firmware / driver version if you know). We will see if we can find the same devices to test.
Also it is much appreciated if you are OK to run some trial firmare to see if that fixes the WiFi connection issues for you. Thank uou.

For me, the devices that I know had issues were:
Honeywell Thermostat RTH6500WF
Chamberlain MyQ Garage door Hub
B Hyve Wifi Sprinkler Timer 57946-50rb
And now that I think about it, all had static IP addresses assigned to them. There may have been more items that had issues, but I switched back to the previous firmware before testing everything.
