So I did some testing, with the newest firmware (V1.12.0.18) I can't get better than 420Mbps throughput over ethernet to the internet, with the older version (V1.11.0.20) I get the full speed of my internet connection, 700-850Mbps. I've confirmed by downgrading and upgrading a couple of times, the results are consistent. Ping also seems to have doubled from 6ms to 12ms, what gives?
Does anyone else have a high speed connection they can test?

I can also confirm rolling back to V1.11.0.20 fixes the issue with connected devices all being listed as wired.
If I delivered software in this state I'd lose my job.

Hello,
firmware seems to have an issue not listed in this topic for me...
My laptop works well and devices wired to the satellite also, but my Iphone keeps asking me the admin login / password when I want to connect to websistes.
If I log in, it works well for a short time, and after it asks again to log in (probably when the admin session expired).
Has anyone experienced that ? (very annoying so I stopped using wifi on my Iphone ...Aloys
