I was glad to see this update came in and updated flawlessly.
I do like the new icons for attached devices.
Being a Sonos owner, any tweaks are greatly appreciated.
So far, so good. No hiccups.

Glad it working well. Thanks for letting us know. Mines been online since the FW came out and installed. I did the manual update and reset process. The naming of the devices is a known issue which NG is aware of. Other than this. Been running solid.

I did this update and it removed my split WiFi network, so it knocked a bunch of devices off my network and when I did the split again (to get distinct SSIDs for 2.4Ghz and 5.2Ghz) after a reboot it reverted. I am in WiFi hell. I'm going to try the split again in a bit.
And before anyone asks, the reason I had to do the split WiFi was for some home automation switches. No other way to get them set up.

So another words I didn’t have to split it I just had to turn off the 5 GHz once connected to the 2.4 everything is fine
