Just updating this to let everyone know that NG has fixed the GUI update MD5 error seen on this version of FW. Users can try to check for FW updates again using the routers web page and if the GUI is reporting needing updating, proceed and it will complete successfully now.

Wired speeds are good.
WIreless 5Ghz is great. Have 160Mhz enabled on the R7800 connected with a ASUS GT-AX11000 in wireless bridge mode:
Smart Connect enabled on manual channel 1 and 40. Beamorming and MIMO and HT160 enabled. CTS 2347.

Do you happen to use Traffic Meter on this version of FW?
Just curious...I'm using on my R7800 and it's enabled for No Limit and I'm not seening any updated Traffic specs being updated in this section. All zeros. I've had mine on since earlier this week and theres has been lots of data flow since then.

No. I can turn it on and see what happens.

Seems to be working as expected.

Interesting. Same on the Nighthawk app? My app shows same, zero data.
I guess I try a factory reset though a few have already been done since the MD5 Error for the GUI update problem appeared.

Yup. Android shows all traffic.

How is Traffic Meter configured on your router? Mines set for No Limit and that's it. What I normally set with other routers I test with and data collects.
- michaelkenwardMar 22, 2022Guru - Experienced User
Same here. No limit.

Ok.
I just disabled TM, rebooted router, then re-enabled. Still not seeing anything..Odd.
