    Manually updated to 3.0.0.4.388_24854 & all good.

    I continue to run my XT8s in AP mesh mode behind a UniFi Cloud Gateway Fiber and the XT8s are still working so well that it’s hard to justify replacing them.

    Great to know and absolutely, if its working well and suits your needs, keep going with you current setup

    Only slight concern is at some point the XT8 will reach EoL, more of a challenge for early 2027
