Not necessary I think. The firmware upgrade will reboot the system any ways. If you do hit an issue go ahead.Thanks!
Do you people always reboot the router and node(s) after upgrading the firmware?
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.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.
Interesting. I'll try doing it that way.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.
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.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.
Thanks, did you take any extra steps aside from upgrading to 36597, then to 36602, and factory reset the node and main router?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.
No extra steps, no reset. Just a manual re-boot that I do always on new firmwares.Thanks, did you take any extra steps aside from upgrading to 36597, then to 36602, and factory reset the node and main router?
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 wayNo extra steps, no reset. Just a manual re-boot that I do always on new firmwares.
