Any beta release for BT10?

[JamiryoFC]

Hello, Is there any beta release for BT10? Its been months without any update.

The 3.0.0.6.102_39102 release has been available since October. On the Asus scale that's not a long time.

Sorry im new with Asus. Is it likely to have new update soon?

 

[Ripshod]

I'd only expect an update if there's a problem with the existing firmware or a security issue. Are you dealing with any problems right now?

Thank you so much.

Looks like a very minor update 39102 to 39106. I upgraded manually because the checking for updates didn't find this release. After restart the 6ghz radio on the main node stopped broadcasting. Restarted again and fine for a couple of hours now. I might need to reset the whole thing.

I had to manually upgrade too but its been more than 10 hours no problem at all include 2.4-5-6 and mlo. Kinda stable. Honestly the only issue i had with previous firmware was about web gui more then devices.

MLO was never stable for me with my Samsung Galaxy S25 series phones so I have abandoned it for now. Under MLO, roaming between nodes causes the phone to disconnect from Wifi so it becomes unusable for me. May be a few firmware updates down the road it will be fixed (or not).

Putting aside MLO issues, this update looks the best one yet. Quite stable so far.

I have another question also but some long and confusing i hope you have time.
I’m currently optimizing my ZenWiFi BT10 (WiFi 7) mesh system, which is running a 10G wired backhaul between the nodes. I have a mix of cutting-edge WiFi 7/MLO clients and some legacy devices, and I’m planning to implement a 2-SSID approach to keep the performance peak-ready.

However, I have a few specific questions regarding ASUS’s Guest Network Pro (SDN) implementation and hardware-accelerated encryption.

The Proposed Setup:​

1. Primary SSID (Utility Network):

• Bands: 2.4GHz + 5GHz (Smart Connect ON).
• Security: WPA2-Personal / AES.
• WPS: Must be enabled (for a legacy Digitürk STB).
• Target Clients: LG OLED TV, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xiaomi Mi Box, Digitürk STB, Samsung A20 (2.4G only).

2. Guest Network Pro / SDN (VIP Network):

• Bands: 5GHz + 6GHz (MLO / Smart Connect ON).
• Security: WPA3-Personal with AES+GCMP-256.
• Target Clients: iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max (6E), MacBook Air M4 (6E).

My Questions for the Experts:​

1. Primary vs. SDN Choice: Since WPS is physically/software-bound to the Primary SSID on most ASUS firmware, is it the right move to make the WPA2 "Utility" network the Primary one? Or is there a way to trigger WPS on a specific SDN network without breaking the WPA3-Only state of the VIP network?
2. Independent Smart Connect: Does Guest Network Pro allow Smart Connect to run independently on each SSID? (e.g., 2.4+5 on Primary vs. 5+6 on Guest). I want to ensure my iPhone 17s stay strictly on 5/6GHz and never drop to 2.4GHz.
3. GCMP-256 on Apple Silicon: For the iPhone 16/17 Pro (A18/19 Pro) and MacBook M4, is there any real-world throughput or stability advantage in forcing AES+GCMP-256 over standard AES? Do these chips offer superior line-rate hardware offloading for GCMP-256?
4. SSH Reporting (TXBF): My AiMesh node reports txbf_bfe_cap=0 and txbf_bfr_cap=0 via SSH, whereas the Main router shows active caps. Since I’m on a 10G wired backhaul, is this just a known reporting glitch in ASUSWRT 5.0/6.0, or is Beamforming actually disabled on the node?

I want to make sure the "VIPs" are fully isolated for maximum MLO efficiency while keeping the legacy "Utility" devices stable.

Thanks in advance for your insights!
