Following up on this. Still rebooting once every day in order to mitigate issues and sometimes I have to physically kill power to all decos and perform a hard reboot otherwise satellites won't operate correctly despite being hardwired.

@David-TP the version is still 1.6.0, which is already the last stable.
Will there be a new release for these fixes, 1.6.1 for example?
I am surprised to see a new beta for the version already considered as stable.

I installed this latest beta earlier today but already once wifi connection dropped. Needed to restart main Deco. Interesting, that this root cause hasn't been found or has it?

@David-TP I can confirm the issue with DDNS is now solved. Thank you David and the development team for being so helpful on diagnosing the problem.

i have found that my 3 deco setup with Ethernet backhaul v1.6.0 running in ap mode needs to be optimised regularly. I've been running with daily reboot as per recommendations to ensure stability however most days I find it is needing optimisation to improve performance.
when I set to weekly reboot I do not have to optimise again until after reboot.
i think that after a regular reboot the network does not necessarily optimise.
could this bug be fixed or could there be
a scheduled optimisation option or at least an optimisation performed some time after reboot.
otherwise scheduled reboot function is somewhat useless.
Happy to help debug of you provide what you need me to do
ThankS

Do you have any solution for this problem? With latest beta 1.6.0 Build 20220816 Rel. 31542 all 3 Decos are loosing connectivity several times per day. I have my set in access point mode. This is annoying bug, disturbing quite much. Stability tests would be good to do, when releasing new firmware. I think this issue would come up in those tests.

In the case you missed it, I ask my question again :) the version is still 1.6.0, which is already the last stable.
Will there be a new release for these fixes, 1.6.1 for example?
