@Kevin_Z - Thank you for that much appreciated. I can confirm that using the beta and full 1.3.2 releases eventually ended up causing the same issues for me, intermittent "Poor Network" message in the management GUI and devices having their internet drop whilst the router sorted itself out. I tried removing VPN Client settings and disabling that option and making small adjustments here and there, all of which resulted in the same outcome - the network drops.
So, I have now downgraded to V1.3.0 so thank you so much for supplying the link. Once the router rebooted, I shut it down and also shutdown my main ISP modem too. Everything restarted as expected and my onemesh setup (using a R700X) is all online and working too.
I will monitor as usual for the coming days and report back on experience - fingers crossed this proves to be issue free!

@RobbieB50 Thank you very much for all the background info again. I hope the 1.3.0 official firmware help with the issue you're experiencing, but please let me know if it helps or not.

@Kevin_Z Hi Kevin,
I was just looking over the new changes in regards to the AX6000 V1 and noticed on line 10 it stated (For Archer AX6000 only) Removed the Traffic Monitor feature
any reason such a useful feature would be removed?
Thanks for your time and hope you had a great Monday.

@Kevin_Z Will we ever get the option to set the hostname of our devices. I have two AX11000's and not being able to set the hostname makes things confusing for troubleshooting purposes.
Also, can we get support for VLANs on this router? I use the devices as access points and I'd like to be able to connect the WiFi Networks (internal and guest) to different VLANs.
Thanks,

Do you know when the official for AX6000 v1 will be released? I've been waiting for it as I'm having issues I hope it fixes.
Also which type of VPN client was added? OpenVPN? wireguard?
Thanks

@Bhjs77 Thanks for asking.
You will get the official update soon. As I've been told that the official release was on the way last week. This publish process may take long but I guess you will detect the new firmware very soon now. Please check for the updates on your router web GUI or via the Tether App.

@KGBird Thank you for suggesting the idea of implementing VLAN and allowing to set a hostname for the client devices.
We would make sure to record this kind of feedback and forward it as a feature request to our developers for consideration.
