- ASUS are currently making changes to the built-in Speedtest feature across their routers. No word on a BQ16-specific fix, but I’d keep an eye on upcoming firmware releases.

Thanks for this, but checking either through the phone app and/or the browser, it says there’s no update available and that I have the latest firmware already (first time this happens). In any case I’ll do a manual update.
Appreciate it, thanks!

Ok so I updated succesfuly it appears. Some minute changes and the real only I saw is that you can finally see the connected clients per node in the webGUI. Stable as always. If any issues I’ll report.
