@Vendex Low internet speeds may not notice this, but people like me who have 4GB of down and up notice it very much as an unnecessary update without testing, then you get these kinds of problems. When I had 1.1.6, my internet was very stable. I got 4GB with Wi-Fi 7. It had nice new features, but they're causing problems with other features. That's the cause. I also have Wi-Fi 6, and it's more stable. Why do I have Wi-Fi 7? It's double the speed.

@Kevin_Z I expected the 1.3.0 version to be newer than 1.2.1 to 1.2.4 and wasn't aware I was flashing an EU firmware, now I can't go back to a US based firmware (tried with 1.2.4 and 1.2.5, it always tells something like "Uploading failed")
Is there some way to fix this? I suppose 1.2.5 US is the same as 1.3.1 EU and the only difference is the AI QoS, right?

Hi,
Could you ask the team for an ETA regarding the release of the Firmware with QoS for the EU?
Not sure why it is taking so long
Or at least update to a higher beta version than the Official's one (1.3.1). As we can not access beta anymore if we updated to the official release.
Could you ask the team for it?

@Bauhaus , to be honest, I've requested these two for some time, but the development team hasn't provided an update yet.
I will check with the team to see if they can provide a new pre-release or beta version.

@Pro-gamer, could you please provide more details about the issue you're experiencing? How did you confirm that the WiFi range has deteriorated on the new official 1.3.1? Please provide the test result for reference.
Thank you.
