It's there, takes them awhile to update all the links. Look under the Win 8 option, it's there.Tried with Android and Win10 64-bit OS selections and 81930 is the latest for me as well.
So this release is giving me a few issues so I rolled back to 81930. Now I'm locked out of the router, wont take username or password. Does this require a complete reset/restore to get around it. Steps please...New update via router GUI. I haven't seen release notes. Anyone download yet?

Thanks, I took the plunge and reset worked fine. The new encryption stuff doesn't play well when you roll back, be advised if you install the new firmware, you'll face the same issue when rolling back.Hold the reset button until the power LED begins to flash.

Strange. Just tried all the OS options and 81930 is the latest for all of them for me, even after a hard refresh. No worries, it will appear eventually.It's there, takes them awhile to update all the links. Look under the Win 8 option, it's there.

Evening, May I ask what issues you are encountering ? I appear to have throughput issues both on wired and Wifi interfaces. I tested in the back of the ISP Modem an can obtain full provisioned speed, however this version of code appears to have lslower throughput. I will downdrade to the previos version later and retest.So this release is giving me a few issues so I rolled back to 81930. Now I'm locked out of the router, wont take username or password. Does this require a complete reset/restore to get around it. Steps please...
I just checked. I lost a lot of names and icons but does this really justify a factory reset? I just changed them back.Hmm, all my client icon pictures are gone? What happened? Not nice...
"Dirty" upgrade, time to DELETE and start from scratch?
