Using this firmware for a few days now, working well here. No obvious behavioral changes, the preceding firmware version also worked well for me. Not using AiMesh, though, I hear that there have been some problems with that in previous versions.

I was seeing quite a few issues with IoT devices connecting with this version so I had to revert back to the 37031 version for resolution. I'm using AiMesh with 3 ET12 nodes.

I had too many problems with 37038 requiring reboots and reverted back to 37031. I have 1 AiMesh node (TUF-BE6500)

I tried reverting to 37031, but after about a day Asus decided that they wanted me on 37038 even though I had auto-upgrade turned off. Thinking about the Netgear RS700S since Netgear actually respects the user turning off auto-upgrade. The only problem with the RS700S is that MLO isn't implemented yet...but it would be nice if Asus would respect my wishes and let me be on a firmware that's only about 7 builds back if that's what I need. Seems like a minor reverersion, but Asus isn't having it.

FWIW, my router is staying on 37031 with auto-upgrade turned off.

Finally got my wifi-7/MLO network stabilized. I now have only 5GHz. and 6GHz. bands on my main network, and 2.4GHz only on the IoT wifi-6 network. I do have WPA2/WPA3 for my main (wifi-7/MLO) network, but as usual I'm sure that 6GHz. is using only WPA3. The Network page shows wifi-7 and MLO for my main network, so as far as I can tell using WPA2/WPA3 doesn't affect MLO. All my devices, except security cameras the HDhomerun, electric blanket, smoke detector, internet radio, etc. are on the main network, and everything's finally peaceful and happy. When I had both a 2.4GHz. IoT network and 2.4GHz. also on the main wifi-7/MLO network, it just fell apart. That's why I've taken the 2.4GHz. band off the main network. While I'm not using AiMesh at this point, I do have a wifi-6 router in repeater mode (for the security cameras, doorbell, etc.) and another wifi-6 router in media bridge mode (for the HDhomerun), both connected to the IoT network. All routers and devices are running well.

Been up for over a week now, a new record for me and wifi-7 using MLO *smile*. Just thought I'd share this in case it helps anyone.
