If Chrome is your officially supported browser, then you will want to test the most recent version on a tablet via HTTP as it fails to login correctly on this firmware....

Hi @Clive_A !
I don't have any URL filters rules in my config. I use an Omada Controller but it's in a cloud provider on a VPS.
For the mDNS setup, I create a rule to add Chromecast service and after I created a rule in mDNS setting with my IoT VLAN as service network and my Home VLAN as client network. On the ER605 v1, I have the same config and it's works well.
I don't test the config in standalone mode, I only use the Controller.

@Clive_A I got a replacement and gave it a 2nd try. I flashed it with 2.1.2 then 2.1.4 + hard reset right after I took it out of the box.
Not sure if it was bad hardware or the hard reset did make a difference, boot time improved a lot and has been up and running for 22 hours.
Had the wrong login credential in both Edge and Chrome right after updating the firmware until I reset the router as I mentioned in another post. Happened to both the old and the replacement router.

Hi @DNA1010
If you have not returned it yet, please export your files for me and I'll help you escalate it.
Make sure you reply to my message and @ me so I can be informed and follow it up timely.

When will the final version of this firmware be available? And when will the hardware controller upgrade be made available? Even if 2.1.4 of the ER605 v2 is released, the new features will not be reflected in the present 5.9.32 firmware of the hardware controllers.
As a result, the final release of the firmware for both the ER605 v2 and the hardware controllers should occur on the same date.
But, as far as I can tell, there is still no news or information on the beta version of the hardware controller firmware. Will there be any beta version of the next firmware update for the hardware controllers?

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

Can I continue to use 2.2.0 firmware? I don't use VPN. It's working fine for me.
It's been taken down and there is no download link available from us. If you still keep the file, you can. But note that there is no support for any problems you run on this 2.2.0 firmware.

Hi @DNA1010
If you face the random reboot issue on this replacement, let me know. Make sure you reply to me and @ me. And prepare the backup and export the running log if you use Controller. Export your running log, path: Global View> Maintenance > Export Running Log.
For the issue that you cannot log in on certain web browsers, high recommend you use Chrome. Clear the browser cache is critical to fix the problem.

I cannot give any guarantee on any release date for an official firmware. And I don't receive any info on any official release recently. This info is rarely sent to us unless we prepare something very important. Usually, not be informed.
As we'd like to make sure the official release is stable and think from the customers' perspective, the beta test period would last longer than before.
For the controller features, if the features are there, you should think the brighter side which they'll be implemented by the firmware update in the future.
