For those curious, I posted a few screenshots in this thread:

 
I always check out betas and hope that the bugs will be more niggling than maddening. Right now, this one's the latter for me, breaking IPv6 passthrough and suffering long delays until webpages begin loading. Downgraded and all is well again. Looking forward to trying the next one, though, as those are some cool new features.

Of course! Web UI works for me when I:

1. Download firmware of choice from ASUS website.
2. Unzip the file so it is in .pkgtb format.
3. Go to asusrouter.com>Administration>Firmware_Upgrade.
4. Where the router and node(s) are listed, click the "Upload" link beside the "Manual firmware update" text, select the .pkgtb file, and click "Upload."
5. After upgrade (or downgrade, as the case may be) is complete, repeat 3 & 4 as needed for the different nodes.

I am not sure whether it is better to upgrade/downgrade the router before or after the nodes or maybe it doesn't matter. Some may recommend a full factory reset and rebuild after downgrading from a beta with such significant changes, but I noticed no performance or stability troubles without having done so.

Hope that helps--I don't know of any other way to do it.

Excellent answer, thanks! The issue was not showing at ui the ¨upload¨ option, after factory reset the node option appeared.
 
HI,
I updated to this and now my node wont power up. I have tried the power/wps method to try to reset, and there are no power lights. Its unresponsive. I have tried another outlet as well...this is a very expensive system($1100CDN+tax), I would hate to lose this. Anyone have any suggestions please on how to get the node back up please?
