Thanks guys. I'm a bit terrified of trying the Beta out. Is it easy to rollback if the beta is unstable? I can't risk connectivity issues at home..

Well to be fair I am currently troubleshooting a bug I am suffering on the beta right now. For some reason my router periodically just decides to stop working which requires me to turn the router on / off again. I am hoping this is an issue that's occurred from when i upgraded to the beta... so I am about to perform a factory reset and reinstall to see if that fixes it. 

As you have a similar connection to myself and considering you cannot risk connectivity issues it's probably worth leaving it as you have it working right now. I'll update back over the next couple of days once I can confirm this reinstall fixes it. Word is however though they are about to do another Beta update next week which could potentially introduce new problems so I would recommend just leaving it haha.

Thanks Zac - yes - I think I'll hang back and wait for the formal release. It would be different if I had a spare router, I'd happily trial beta versions of firmware knowing I can readily swap if needed.

You can always go back to the non beta version if needed, nothing to stop you doing that at all.
