  @Betovanbuuren 

 

Glad to hear! Thanks for the feedback — apart from adding this powerful new AI QoS feature, the firmware also included some fixes, optimizations, and a handful of other feature additions carried over from the previous pre-release firmware outlined in this post

  @Ryan I'm going to update my replacement GE800 when it arrives tomorrow with this firmware. Any idea when final release is coming out?

 

It was working great on my previous GE800, till of Texas' famous thunderstorms knocked our power and the Ethernet ports didn't survive the surge when power came back.  Yes it was plugged into a surge protector, but it didn't survive the power surge either. 

 

I still say your GE800 is your best wifi 7 router.

@Betovanbuuren, @Richardj186,

 

Sorry to hear about the untimely end for your GE800, Richard, but I'm glad to hear that another one is on its way—and that you were enjoying the pre-release firmware while you had it.

 

Unfortunately, I don't have any insights into when the official release will be available; however, the post linked at the top of the thread should generally have the most up-to-date information regarding the progress of this pre-release firmware for the Archer GE800.

 

That said, I went ahead and updated the Pre-Release Firmware download link at the top of this thread to reflect the latest available version: Pre-Release 1.2.2 Build 20250703

 

Feel free to take it for a test drive if interested.

  @Ryan I got my new GE800. I haven't flashed the new early release firmware yet, but wBted to let you know there was an updated official firmware, version 1,2.1 Build 20250610 rel. 39070.

 

It looks like the previous early release firmware since it includes the coming fan control.

  @Richardj186 

 

Thanks for relaying. From what I understand, the latest version of the pre-release firmware (1.2.2 Build 20250703) is built upon that 1.2.1 firmware.

Wait a second, why is 1.2.1 not on the website?  I only upgraded to 1.2.1 because it was listed within the router update page itself.  The website still lists 1.6.0 from Christmas 2024, and this thread is about 1.2.2.
