Anyone try it yet or notice an issue? If I learned anything from Netgear routers is never trust the latest patch lol.

Seems fine for me so far - updated a day and a half ago.
Would be nice to have a bit more detail than "improves system stability" in the patch notes though.

How hard is it to flash back to old firmware? That frustrating.

I agree, give us more info that improves stability. I bet if I chatted with support they wouldn't know what improvements were made.

I haven’t been limited to 300 on the latest firmware.

I don't think qos is working in this update. On dslreports.com, I get huge bufferbloat (F rating) and the bandwidth monitor page doesn't seem to be registering anything. I went back to the previous version and all is well. A/A+ ratings on dslreports.com and bandwidth monitor page working as expected.

I am not limited to downloads with this release. My downloads are 600 mb

Thanks for the confirmation. I submitted the issue on the feedback form last week.

The aimesh 2.0 stuff sure seems great (working good here so far). I cant believe how screwed up my aimesh stuff was until I was able to look at it all. nodes connecting to a node 50' past the main router, clients refusing to connect to a router 5' from it and barely connecting to one 150' away...
Being able to bind all that seems to have made a huge difference in some clients.
Im using Merlins alpha3

I'm on 3.0.0.4.384_9318 for the last 42 days, and I didn't have a single problem with my RT-AX86U. Several devices on 5GHz, include zoom sessions and VPN to the office.
