@Ryan I will give it a try.
Installed with no issues, I like the new interface icons on the clients page.
The beta wallpaper is hurting my eyes though, also makes the left side menus in Advanced harder to see.
update: Speedtest app shows download speeds way down from expected speeds, upload is normal. Same results with QOS on and off. Will try again later to see if it settles out.
more: 5 minutes to download Nvidia video driver, rebooted router and download speed still slow. Switching back to public version for now.
even more: went back to public, downloads were still slow. Rebooted cable modem and router, speeds normal. Beta firmware reinstalled and speeds are normal so keeping beta for now.
