Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with this release? I have 3 BQ16 Pros configured as mesh nodes connected to a GT-BE98 Pro running Merlin 3.0.0.6.102_36934. The nodes are currently running 3.0.0.6.102_36869.
To improve the connection stability of some of my devices, I've had to set the authentication method on the 2.4GHz band to WPA2-Personal. Using WPA2/WPA3-Personal results in frequent disconnects or devices that cannot connect in the first place. Does this release resolve that issue? Are any new problems introduced?

I have GT-BE98 Pro with Merlin 3006.102.4 (latest) as primary router with one of my four AiMesh nodes being ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro with 3.0.0.6.102_36934-gc7f208d_1122-gcedad_BB0B firmware using WiFi 6 backhaul. No issues whatsoever, including 2.4 GHz IoT devices cleanly connecting with WPA2/WPA3 encryption.

I have two ZenWiFi BQ16 Pros running 3.0.0.6.102_36934 (one primary, 1 mesh node), and have also had no issues with 2.4 GHz IoT devices using WPA2/WPA3 encryption.

Seems solid on my 3x BQ16 (non-pros).
