Thanks for the update I will check with our engineers regarding AU releases.

> AU Firmware for 8900AX-2400: Engineers will merge the fix fw into that path coding.
> AU Firmware for 8700VAX: Different series, Engineer will release test fw for customer testing.
Cool, I'll test when made available.
Any news on this chief or time frame?

Latest update from our engineers is the firmware for AU, will be delayed until the next official release

If you are in a hurry please contact AU support, and request a official release.

These are business routers for us and the fall back is useless using the most popular dongle on the planet. Your engineers should be in a 'hurry" to address this issue. AU support are unresponsive. Pretty poor response considering my input on this. Appreciate it's not you.

Try emailing support@billion.com and letting them know the firmware you need, also how unresponsive AU support are, they will follow up and hopefully get things moving for your regional FW release.

I shouldn't have to contact anyone. As far as I'm concerned I've highlighted an issue, helped your engineers by testing several firmware's sending back extensive results and helped resolved the issue. Now you're telling me to contact someone else. One would think support@billion.com would be in contact offering the fixed firmware.
