I just updated the firmware. VPN speed increased by 3-4X and it supports WPA3 now. I don't think any of my devices do WPA3 so I kept that turned off.

 

Before  / After

 

Vodafone 4G connection to a local speedtest server.

 

Ping 54ms / 58ms
Jitter 4ms / 4ms
Down: 4.92Mbps / 17.4Mbps
Up: 4.83Mbps / 9.2Mbps

Waiting for this to be available for the 7490 units I have at home. Installed at in-laws' 7590 last weekend and the UI is much faster too.

Yeah the UI is pretty snappy. I'll get the 7390 out some time to put a second WAP in, but for some odd reason my Surface Laptop gets really poor upload speed with that setup, whereas every other device works fine. Odd.

I think your packet hit a pocket on a socket or a port,
And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
And the address of the memory makes your TCP abort,
Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!

Must be your network.. 😉
I've been running 7.20 since the end of July and haven't noticed any issues. If anything, I have noticed my Fritz-mesh seems to be running smoother.
