9 hours passed after update, no issues so far.
Updated as-is, on top of previous version. All clients reconnected with no errors.

Thanks!

Do you people always reboot the router and node(s) after upgrading the firmware?

Not necessary I think. The firmware upgrade will reboot the system any ways. If you do hit an issue go ahead.

By the way, the yellow light on the ET-12 node with previous firmware is back to normal (white) in this one.

My yellow light on the node was also fixed by this - back to white as well.

I am having an issue with my Lifx lights. They are not able to connect to my network after upgrading to 3.0.0.6.102_36602. I had the same issue with 3.0.0.6.102_36597. I had to revert back to 3.0.0.4.388_24610 for everything to work.

What's funny now is that my download speed has been cut in half and my upload speed is showing up fully, despite both of them being 1gbps up/down when tested in the QoS speed test. Have restarted my router & node multiple times.

Did you try turning off your router and node, then rebooting your modem/gateway, then restarting your router and node after the modem/gateway finished booting? That fixed the issue for me.

Interesting. I'll try doing it that way.
Edit: Tried it, didn't make a difference.

I've had significant issues since the upgrade - dropping connection frequently and frequent slow connection. I reset both my primary router and node after the upgrade, but at this stage I'm going to downgrade - it made working on Friday nearly impossible.

Sorry to hear that. For me only 1 firmware update has worked since i bought this router where the lights were the correct color and the speed was great. Each subsequent update has been either wrong color lights or not getting full speed.

Sorry to hear about your issues. Here, so far, rock solid. Overall better connections.over wifi as compared to previous version. Let's hope it stays like this.

Thanks, did you take any extra steps aside from upgrading to 36597, then to 36602, and factory reset the node and main router?

No extra steps, no reset. Just a manual re-boot that I do always on new firmwares.

Thanks - I manually re-installed 36602 on both node and router (I had used the ASUS OTA upgrade previously), manually reset again and started fresh. So far I'm seeing much more stable speeds, hopefully they'll stay that way
