Can't have consecutive same characters? Dumb. 3 or 4 in a row I understand, but not 2.

Use letters and make one cap the next lower case. Such as XxYy13579!

Another password suggestion, is if you're on a Mac, use Safari's auto password generator, and then copy and paste the password into your desired browser. That's what I do with all my sites now, and it works well.

Normally, yes, everything works. But there are caveats:

• Sometimes (very occasionally) the supplier of the FW will state you should do a factory reset. Do one.
• After a change in codebase from e.g. 3004 to 3006 branch (wich may not apply to you) a factory reset is an absolute. Do one.
• After changing FW from Stock to Merlin or vice versa, a factory reset is highly recommended.
• After a big jump in versions even on the same codebase a factory reset is highly recommended.
• If you're having issues with something on the new FW that were not apparent on the previous FW a factory reset is highly recommended.
• If you have been updating and downgrading FW without doing a factory reset for a while i.e. lots of dirty updates, then from time to time a factory reset is highly recommended.

You are correct. If it works for you, great! But it is a good idea to take a settings backup before you upgrade and be prepared to roll back if problems arise.
I am still unsure why I had problems with the upgrade. It is working OK for now so I will leave it for a while.

Something weird is going on with this firmware. I know Network Map is wonky but when Ethernet connected clients that are connected to the router show up as wired clients to the AiMesh node, which only has WIFI clients, something is wrong!
Am going to roll back to 102.34349 for a bit...
