The update was released in July 2026, at the height of the travel season. The new firmware fixes three known issues: installation error due to incorrect file selection (requires unpacking the ZIP and selecting the .image file), WLAN instability when using MLO clients (fixed by enabling compatibility option in settings), and temporary white screen display in the interface (fixed by refreshing the page with Ctrl+F5).
