Netgear also call the web UI Genie too which I'm guessing is what @rbird2 was referring to. The Netgear UI does look like something out of late '90s and is severely lacking functionality wise compared to the AsusWRT UI (although that in itself looks like a web UI from the mid '00s so isn't...

@NETGEAR Guy Any more news on a firmware release? Has there been another beta floating around since the last one? Thanks!

@Killhippie Is this a more recent version than we'd been given a few weeks back or is it the same one? I've not seen any issue with that build but then my connection isn't native IPv6. @NETGEAR Guy Its now June. Are we any closer to the promise production release of the firmware?

@NETGEAR Guy Any news on an official release yet?

So, better late than never, I was finally able to test the beta over the weekend and from what I can tell so far it is all working well (IPv6 as much as I'm able to test with a non native connection, and the iOS fix).

June was the date we'd previously been given for the iOS fixes, however whether this new beta now delays things I don't know.

@NETGEAR Guy Received thanks. Will give this a whirl later.

My thoughts exactly.... ;)

@NETGEAR Guy If this includes the iOS fix also count me in!

You should probably ask @NETGEAR Guy as it was a private beta (the branch with the fix was an earlier branch than the current or previous releases and contained none of the newer features, but it is getting rolled into the current production branch with an expected release in June)

If you use the GS108T as your main switch rather than the R7800 then your wired network would benefit from the link aggregation. Traffic to the R7800 would only be WAN or wireless traffic where you'd probably see no usable benefit from the link aggregation anyway.

Quite... I'm disappointed.

Yeah. I'm surprised they bothered with this release if this is all it contains. Ironically I've never had any issues with the R7800 rebooting and I'd much rather they release the iOS fix. @NETGEAR Guy Any more news on the release?

Yes if that is specifically a must have feature for you.

Unfortunately not. From Netgear only the X8 R8500 supports link aggregation.
