Thanks. I tested the beta firmware this morning and my experience was not ideal.
The immediate issue was that it changed the LAN IP to default (I use 10.10.0.1) and the WAN IP's would not connect:
These are clearly not the IP's I normally get from the Verizon ONT for my WAN connection.
I tried rebooting everything from the ONT to the Main Deco. It was all stuck and would not revert to proper functionality.
I eventually downgraded back to the 1.1.5 public firmware. Same issues.
I powered off everything. Connected my Verizon router and ran through their trouble shooting. Eventually that started to work. I then started by reconnecting the Main Deco. It ironically reverted back to my correct LAN IP range.
Added the sattelite Deco's back one at a time. Seems stable now on public.
