ZenWiFi Pro ET12 - The node ends up yellow with no connected devices after firmware upgrade

[WebMaximus]

I could really need some help here because I'm starting to pull my hair out trying to figure out what is going on here.

I have a pair of ZenWiFi Pro ET12 routers. Yesterday, I was informed via the Android Asus Router app there was a new firmware available (3.0.0.6.102_36597). After upgrading both routers to this new firmware version, the router acting as the node ends up showing yellow rather than white and no devices connect to it.

I've tried to pull the power, reset first the router acting as node to factory default settings and then both routers when just resetting the node didn't help. No matter what I do it seems, I end up in the same situation after setting everything up again. With the router showing white color and the node yellow with no clients connecting to it.

What on earth happened here and what can I do to make my setup work normally again?

With big thanks in advance for your assistance!

I agree this is easy to replicate. I am having the same issue. This needs to be fixed by Asus as its their firmware update that started this issue. I regret updating, I should have just waited a month or two.
