They're correct - the 208.67.222.123 and 208.67.220.123 addresses are the anycast addresses which will route requests to the nearest resolvers for you. You can also check with OpenDNS themselves with this link: welcome.opendns.com

Oh my…
I hadn’t thought it possible, but I’ve just completed my first update wirelessly from my iPad. Just now.
Gobsmacked.

I can say the same as i also updated this version, including the betas recently, using my iphone.

The MLO settings in Network settings have nothing to do with AImesh, as far as I'm aware.

Well on my BE96U you have to have MLO turned on in the MLO menu AND have to have the "Front haul" switch for the network settings enabled for clients to use it. Thus, indicates at least with my router model or with the firmware that MLO is primarily being used for mesh backhauls. My comments on having it on in the MLO menu but then not enabling it for front haul was brought forth because it solved a LOT of weird issues I was having with connections. Why that is, honestly, I do not know but I now recommend for anyone with a Wi-Fi 7 router and ASUS to have the feature on even if they are not actively using it. Someone in this forum recommended it to me when I was having all kinds of odd issues and it fixed them. This is why I infer that MLO at least for this firmware is intended to be a mesh backhaul because you must explicitly turn it on for the front haul clients. However, personally, from testing using normal 320Mhz is more stable and mostly faster than MLO because they have not figured out the data scheduler portion so that one connection can be all send, and other all receive. The iteration of MLO we have is no better than a "backup" connection, unfortunally. Most companies are already working on "Wi-Fi 8" because of the sheer mountain of work needed to make MLO work the way it was advertised. There is a hardware component to it as well meaning that anyone who bought current generation MLO capable hardware will not be able to truly use it as advertised because these routers don't have the hardware. Anyways sorry, were getting off topic. My post was meant to help a user in this thread that's having weird issues like I was and admitted to having MLO fully disabled. Here is a decent article on what im speaking about. We only have the basic MLO modes available to us. https://www.rtings.com/router/learn/research/wifi-7-mlo

Thinking a bit more about this I guess there could be specific use cases in which a "mesh" was not being used but a backhaul still is but since these were made and advertised to home / house-based consumers they would have to have a significantly large house / properly to want to have "separate" Wi-Fi APs.

For the RT-AX88U Pro and almost all other Asus routers? No. No change in the GPL. Only the RT-BE92 got a new GPL. See the change log RMerlin posted one page back for Asus-Merlin 3006.102.7_2:

Release - Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.7 is now available

Is it possible to add an AiMesh node via terminal?

So wait, it wont fix this?

When can we expect this fix to be included?

Bug Fixes and Enhancements
- Improved WiFi roaming behavior to reduce temporary disconnections in some scenarios.

No, unfortunately not. I think your questions are best answered by @bennor ‘s prior post which succinctly answers what happens with GPLs.

Do you still have this issue? Any long term fixes or workarounds you are aware of?
I am worried about being away and the whole network going down because the light flickered for two seconds.

I use UPS (pure sine wave) and DC battery backups. I'm afraid this started when I needed a tech to come out and fix my fiber line connections to the gateway.

Amazon has the DC type for sale if you are looking for them, including hard to find 12V ones.
