Looks like they made some changes over the pulled 249 version.

No, I didn't.

 

[cc666]

I did a factory reset, manually entered all my settings, its running perfectly!

Why did you do that? Were you facing any issue?

 

[aublumberg]

So far so good, no factory reset.

Before this release I had Merlin on, then overwrote with the 249 version for testing. When this final release came out I figured a reset was the best way to go. So far perfect.

I've done a factory reset as well and manually entered all my settings again. It's working perfectly for while.

So far my Wi-Fi 7 devices continue to show as wireless.

After 24h, things seems to be running as usual from a performance perspective. On the GUI, I noticed the Traffic Monitor tab has stopped working. Toggling it off and on last night did not change things. Has anyone else noticed this?

 

[cc666]

Well the new firmware is giving me problems. For 2 days in a row now all my LOT devices went offline. The only way to get them back is a reboot. This did not happen once with the 249 firmware that was pulled and replaced with this 260 firmware.

I may have to go back to the 249 firmware as this is unacceptable. This is even after a total reset. Anyone else having problems?

I start to believe your router in particular has some issues.

 

[David0417]

I have had zero problems with 39260 so far, I did do a reset for good measure after the update, it has been very stable.

I see this in the log:

CPU: 1 PID: 6436 Comm: dcd Tainted: P O 4.19.294 #1

Any idas what this is.

Data Collection Daemon. This thing crashes regularly on different models and firmware. Ignore.
