Hi @Crannog
Thanks for posting in our business forum.

Correct - single IP address for customer endpoint, and next hop gateway.
The MSS feature, we are using static IP not PPPoE? Can MSS be applied to IPsec tunnel directly? What is default MTU/MSS applied on IPSec tunnels?
Is it under Controller mode or standalone? Controller might be experiencing this issue while standalone should be fine.
MSS only supports PPPoE now. No. Like the WAN = 1500.

No. Not from you. I have reported this to the dev team. It might be an issue with the controller sync connector. So, the dev team should be aware of it. I was @ someone else and explained things.

WAN interface doesn't accept /252 saying my gateway address is a broadcast address. Changing to /248 works but obviously not
correct. Other routers have no issue
with /252, and its not just this version, all versions have same problem.
The MSS feature - where do I find this setting? I think I briefly see it appear on WAN page when loading, but then it disappears. I need to clamp MSS for use with Azure VPN connections over IPSec.
Also any plans to support AES256-GCM on IPsec?
About /252 issue, I need to know your exact config. Please provide the details.
So, here's an example, if your IP is 123.123.123.123, your subnet is 255.255.255.252, this will notify you that you are using a broadcast.
123 IP is 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 which using the subnet of /252 happens to make it broadcast.
So when you change it to /248, it is not a broadcast address.

Hey,
Thanks for getting this out to us. Unfortunately, I've updated and experienced some problems and after downgrading, those problems remain.
The problems experienced are:
Some websites/iOS apps no longer load (unfortunately I can't share these sites as they are internal work sites on a vpn and so no one would have access anyways)
PS5 no longer connects to the internet for some games (namely: Fortnite)
Logitech Harmony no longer functions
These are all things that I, my wife, or my children use regularly and was functional until the upgrade. Remains the same after downgrade to official release FW.
Currently using Omada Controller 5.13.22 on Linux headless server.

Then it seems to be the Internet issue. Or you misconfigure the VPN which incorrectly routes your traffic to an unknown destination.
Have you self-examined your WAN settings and VPN? If you don't know provide screenshots with sensitive IP mosaiced.
If you've downgraded the previous firmware and the issue persists, it does not seem to be an issue with either the controller or the router.
DNS? What steps do you verify this? nslookup?

Thanks for questioning me! Made me think that perhaps it was my internet provider as it only happened that same day but doesn't mean it happened at the same time as the update. Everything seemed fine but I know my provider is known for blocking certain traffic; I switched from PPPoE to ADMZ and all is well now; back up and running better than ever!

Can also report IPsec performance issues on the 1.1.1 beta firmware between ER8411 and pfSense. No issues when using OpenVPN server client setup.
Also have noted that whilst you can assign WAN IP Alias, you can't specify the same port as another alias (or at least the main interface IP) when port forwarding.
EG Interface IP has port forwards of 80 and 443 to server A and WAN Alias IP 2 has port forwards of 80 and 443 to server B.
Many thanks

Is the test based on iperf?
What's the symptom? Any details?
What you "EG", do you miss "cannot" in it? It does not make sense to me as a sentence. It is a declarative sentence with an affirmative tone.
