Thank you very much for following up on this issue.
Do you mean you have already downgraded to the previous 1.3.0 version? Was there an issue when upgrading to the beta firmware?
If you are willing to investigate the issue further, we suggest installing the beta firmware on the AX11000 and sending us the router log for further analysis.

Yes, 1.3.0 Build 20220221 rel.50072(5553)
I had minor issues with beta interaction and Tether app. A lot of the Name/Mac Address associations were forgotten.
Since my experience had been the internet access offline overnight, I decided to wait until stable tested fixed release is out.

Yes and Yes
2. When the internet is not available, what is the LED status on the AX11000, orange or white?
Orange
3. How often does the disconnect issue happen? several hours or minutes or days?
Days
4. Will the internet recover if you click the Release then Renew on its web GUI?

For the issue you're experiencing, it's suggested to install the beta firmware I provided in my original post here, which should have addressed the issue. Please let me know if the issue gets resolved or not with it.

I'm also running into this Poor Network issue now, but I haven't in the past. Previously, I was using a pretty old ONT unit from Verizon FIOS. I've since moved in with my fiance and sought to cut over to my router at her house which has a different ONT. The Poor Network message has happened about 2-3x a day since installing the new router last week.
Some other behavior I can note:
- I have gigabit service and the G3100 Fios router as a backup
- Straight from the ONT to laptop, I pull about 900mb/900mb (Speedtest.net, Fast.com)
- From the AX11000, I regularly see my upload speed drop to less than 100mb
- I wasn't using the speed test on the router as I've read it's not been accurate in the past
- I've tried with both QOS fully disabled and set to 1000/1000 Standard
- I've installed the beta build, but still saw the diminished upload speeds
- I have Parental Control and AV disabled
I'm a pretty technical user, and I'd be willing to do some troubleshooting or testing if needed, but as of now, we've defaulted back to the G3100.

@bhowes As reported by some community users, the internet on the router is not stable after upgrading to the 1.3.1 version. Since there is no issue in your network, you can just leave it and wait for the next official version.

OK, I too haven't had any (real) problems with the latest official release, which was nevertheless taken down some weeks previously.
But for when is the next - definite - release planned?

Hello, thanks for asking for the official version.
As confirmed with the development team, the new official version is under testing and could be available soon. Please wait patiently and check for the updates on your router web GUI later.
I will also update the thread once the new firmware is ready and available.
