We have a ZenWifi AX wireless mesh running downstairs, just a router and a node, and I'm very happy with this. The wifi across the house, including upstairs is about as good as I had hoped with our gigabit fiber internet. We did need a way to have wired clients by our upstairs TV, including a Tablo DVR and NVIDIA Shield, and found that the RT-AX3000 running in media bridge mode would be just the ticket. Got it yesterday, set it up, and it works great upstairs, seeing 600Mbps on a NVIDIA Shield speed test app. Perfect. Been running for a day now, and the Tablo upstairs connects quickly with our downstairs TV in the living room.
Okay, finally my question *smile*. The AX3000 came with the 384 Asus firmware. Early on, but after I configured it into media bridge mode, I updated the firmware to the 386 version level (3.0.0.4.386_41700), and it just continued to work. Ran all last night in media bridge mode with that new firmware upgrade, no problems, it just worked. And it's working now. But I've been reading here about resetting and reconfiguring when switching between 384 and 386 firmware version levels. Wondering if I'm headed for future problems, even though it's working great right now? My attitude is typically to not reset and reconfigure settings unless I have a problem, or this is recommended in the release notes for the firmware...no experience with this particular upgrade, so I was wondering whether I should take down the AX3000, reset and reconfigure to avoid future problems?
