When you download a file, Windows adds a BLOCKED marker to it. This is a significant issue for developers when users report that a program fails to install or, despite installation, doesn't function correctly. The same applies to drivers.

It is a nuisance because Windows does not distinguish between safe and harmful files. It just blocks everything you download, which is why you sometimes get the "Are you sure you want to open this file?" warning.

Right-click on the file you just downloaded, go to Properties, and check the Unblock button at the bottom if it says it was blocked because it came from the internet. If you don't do this, the installer will not have the proper privileges, which will lead to an erroneous installation.

To prevent Windows from automatically blocking downloaded files, check this guide: Enable or Disable Block Files Downloaded from Internet in Windows

One problem persisting from prior version is that under Network Map -> View List -> Show By -> Network, only Wired items show up for me after the first viewing. Everything shows up under the default "All", and the per-network lists are filled when I click on the computer icon above "View List" to see the "Client Status" pane on the right of the window, so it isn't the end of the world.

Someone on reddit reported: ASUS RT-BE92U Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_38979 - Breaks 2.4 GHz

Mine's working fine though, I see my wireless printer connected. I did a full factory reset after the upgrade though.

I did a manual update this morning, and my 2.4 GHz IoT subnet and its 14 clients have been fine.

Just curious, did you do a factory reset like Spartan did, or just ran the update?

I have all the settings written down, but would like to avoid re-entering everything if I can.

I'm waiting for the other users in the house to go out before I update and if I have to reset and re-enter all the settings.

Thanks

I have updated yesterday, every 12 hour the complete iot wifi is freezing.(2.4 ghz) I am not reseted the router setting. I dont want to setup again.

I did not. Other things that may or may not be relevant: I run it as a single router, no mesh; all my 2.4 GHz devices are on the IoT subnet, which is the only network that mixes bands, 2.4 and 5 GHz; I don't use AIProtection; all my settings are pretty much default.

working perfectly here, this is much better than the previous version

Yesterday I went the lazy route and just performed the upgrade without the factory reset.
I thought all went well, except this morning I realised that the washing machine and the smart plug were no longer on the network. (I don't have an IOT network set up, so the simple devices sit on the 2.4GHz network.) After that realisation, I went ahead and factory reset, before manually re-entering all the settings. I see that the washing machine and smart plug are back on the network.

URL filtering still doesn't work yet (but it wasn't in the release notes saying that it was). I can't wait until it does, so that one of my kids stops wasting their lives on TikTok. (I'm surprised, that app and website, are the biggest downloads in my house, beating out our 4K UHD TV, which streams something for at least 2h every night. TikTok must pre-fetch like crazy, to make the experience as seamless as possible. I can't think of any other reason to explain how SD or low quality HD 9:16 videos could use more download than a 4K UHD 16:9 video. Interesting, but evil.)

About 2 weeks ago, my luck ran out and my router crashed for the first time. It had been up for almost 50 days without issue. This was on the August fw (38962).
7 days later, it crashed again and on the weekend just passed, it crashed a 3rd time. Prior to crashes 1 and 2, there wasn't any noticeable degradation in performance and there was plenty of memory (>220MB free). Crash 3 happened in the early hours of the morning. No changes to settings or devices on the network before or after the crashes started. I got the logs for each crash and they look normal prior to the crash, except one of the last "normal" entries in each log was from the same smart light bulb. Could be a coincidence, because everything was running happily with the bulbs up until 2 weeks ago. I'm going to run with the October fw (38979) without making any settings or network changes to see if it fixes the crash issue. If it doesn't, I'll remove the bulbs and will see if that fixes it. (They're wasted anyway, as we just use them dumb bulbs.) Fingers crossed.

Looks like the 2.4GHz network continues to drop for me, even after a factory reset and re-entering all of the settings.

Initially, the 2.4 network is present, but some time after 1h, it disappears. I can't even see it in a scan with my phone.
If you disable and re-enable that radio, it is back, only for it to disappear again in the following hour.
Today I restarted the radio because I needed to sync my bicycle computer prior to a ride and then went out for about 90min. After I left with my bicycle computer, the only device still on the 2.4GHz network was the washing machine. I don't know, but I don't think the washing machine is the issue. I think the October fw has introduced a major issue.

Let me know if anyone has managed to keep the 2.4GHz radio working with the October fw, because I'd like to see if there is a difference in our setups that might be causing it.

Thanks,
GJ
