New firmware V2.3.2.114 XR500

All the experiences and all the cases are unique!! For example mi settings with this router is weird ( it doesn’t mean that im not trust in netgear because i believe 100%) but i dont use geo filter, my slider in 60-60 ( auto-enable) give to me A+... i didnt add a device (ps4) ... ping assist 0 - Non auto ping- Non Fast search- Non traffic prioritization and i can say today that my game changed
I can’t explain all these but is my reality

XR500 & EX7700 minor issues-

1. Noticed immediately after the .114 upgrade that the EX7700 is no longer reporting showing solid white on the Extenders 5G uplink. I enabled Smart Connect (I have 2.4 & 5G) on XR500 to see i that made any difference. It didn't. It works, but slower than before.

2. The iphone App: When looking at the XR500 'Devices' it doesn't show any. If I switch to EX7700 it shows multiple WiFi devices as expected. I'm sitting next the XR500 with my phone using the App so it should show me at least?

3. No sure is a fault, but after switching the XR500 to 'Smart Connect' it shows the single combined name in WiFi settings (as expected). When I switch to EX7700 it still shows my 2x WiFi SSIDs. Surely it should show the single SSID as well?

Did you factory reset after the update as that is highly recommended!

No I didn't, I upgraded (as with previous version upgrades) by getting the recommendation through the router notification service, not this forum. I am reluctant to factory reset and lose everything on the 'off chance' it would sort the problem. It looks to me as though the firmware version between XR500 & EX7700 has drifted apart.

Okay so that version just have security fixes, wouldn't make a difference to your issues at all. The beta version however could help, I would definitely suggest doing a reset after that though: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4mwe5sx81gsc129/XR500-V2.3.2.114-DumaOS3.0.203.img?dl=0

What are the custom settings you have that you don't want wiped?
