New firmware for 1900acs v2 now up on the Linksys site. My router is not yet pulling this automagically. Has anybody tested it yet?
Firmware version: 2.0.1.177097
Release date: November 14, 2016
- Updated wireless driver
- Resolved security issues
- Resolved 5GHz disconnect issue
...And another one!
Firmware version: 1.0.1.174588
Release date: August 8, 2016
- Added login requirements for cgi web pages
- General bug fixes
- Resolved Network Map issues where some devices are improperly identified
New firmware stable for me, no reboots or glitches since install. Wifi encryption pulldown menu bugs are all fixed, but network map is broken, displaying all devices as wired and showing zero 2.4 or 5 GHZ devices connected.
Rock and Roll. I see new firmware just posted:
Firmware version: 1.0.0.172978
Release date: June 2, 2016
- Improved stability of 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks
Where do you see the CPU speed? I do not claim to know what I'm looking at but here is the same snippet from my 1900acs sysinfo:

Thanks for clarifying and confirming that under ordinary circumstances Mixed Mode and B/G/N are identical. I do not see AC mode in my WPA2 Personal 2.4 pulldown, so I should be okay. I switched from the default WPA2/WPA Mixed Personal to just WPA2 Personal as suggested and everything's been...
I did a factory reset but auto install of newest firmware. When I encountered the same issue I reverted back to the initial version and have had no problems since (I've obviously turned off auto update).
What does Mixed Mode mean and how does it differ from B/G/N ?
Other forums are also reporting problems with disconnects after upgrading the firmware. Linksys is telling them to revert to the original firmware and then the units are stable. This mirrors my experience - since reverting to the original firmware I've gone 2 months with no issues. I see the...
Thanks all for your advice. I've switched from WPA2/WPA Mixed Personal to WAP Personal (now 'N' appears in the pulldowns).
I then tried copying a file from my desktop to my wireless N laptop in close proximity to the router (I had not tried this before). I was much surprised to find that I'm...
Thanks so much, no, I never thought to check the "WPA2 Personal" pulldown; I do indeed see all the modes listed (including 'N') once I select it. Any idea why "WPA2/WPA Mixed Personal" is the default? All things being equal am I better off leaving it at the default or does this cause me to...
Linksys doesn't seem to be in a hurry to update this firmware, even though it is a step backwards from the initial release in terms of 2.4 connectivity and has major omissions from both the 2.4 and 5GHz pulldowns. The 1900ac firmware also hasn't been refreshed since last June.
Thanks JohnnySL. And so far all of my 2.4 devices are connecting fine with the ACS 1.0.0.168229 initial release firmware, so I'm staying put. The new firmware, which updated the wireless driver to v7.2.9.2 obviously still has some bugs. I will take it on faith that the "missing N" in the...
