ZenWifi ET8 v.1 firmware update bug

[Timl62]

The most recent version of the ZenWifi ET8 v.1 firmware appears to contain a bug.  I installed it and immediately experienced a significant (i.e., approximately 75%) reduction in my internet speed.  Contacted Asus support but no solution was offered.  I rolled back the firmware to an earlier version manually and my internet speed was restored.  I caution anyone else who may upgrade to the new firmware version.

3.0.0.4.386.49873.  It was issued in August 2022, which is roughly when I purchased my ET8 system.
