Updated to latest alpha as well. So far its working as expected. Excited about this release due to the chatter on the official firmware threads.

Yeah, 81918 seems to have been received with almost universal acclaim, so I've installed the new alpha as well. All ok so far.

Because they sure know about you, and that you are building better frimwares that they do. They want to complicate you things.

On the RT-AC5300 the continuous mode setting you describe is NOT present.I can confirm the latest Alpha contains DHCP "Continuous" mode as an option on the WAN Settings page (at least for AC86U)
Flashed the second Alpha and it runs smoothly. Will give it a few days before updating my second router.

I have noticed that the signal strength on the RT-AC5300 is 5-6% less with the second Alpha version compared to the first Alpha.

I have running Merlin based firmware for years on my rt-ac68u , but with the last couple of versions I always ran into problems with the port forwarding.
When I install the different firmwares, I did a factory reset and build all the settings from scratch and it was working alright, inbound and outbound traffic . But after some time the inbound traffic (port forwarding) stops working. There is no more response on the outside on the different ports (for example HTTP(S) and SSH) from the internal servers. Internet access from the local network works just fine without any problems.
The OpenVPN connection to the router still works, so when I am external, I can logon to the internal network and reset the router from there, after the reboot, the port forwarding is working again for some time, but eventually it stops working again.
I have also tried a new rt-ac68u router to exclude some hardware issue with the old router, but the problem still is there.
I now run the stock firmware 3.0.0.4.385.20490 from Asus on both routers (the second one is now an AiMesh extension) without any problems after weeks of uptime.
Are there more people here who faced the same problems and most important is it fixed in one of the latest firmwares?

For a noob like me, can you clarify what does the continues mode do?I can confirm the latest Alpha contains DHCP "Continuous" mode as an option on the WAN Settings page (at least for AC86U)
Edit: it's not available on mine. Does wan have to be set on automatic IP? Because I'm on static

I still don’t understand after reading that (I see instructions on how to enable it, but not what it does?).
Who can explain it in a one-liner?
