You notice this when websites won't load or Wi-Fi calls get interrupted or in log entries? Just wondering.
Just simple speedtest....disconnect and reconnect back on wifi...no issues on 47517 Merlin 384.12

Really solid for me. Devices switch networks smoothly with no hiccups. I do however recommend lowering the power on any node devices. I did at one point set my second node to AP mode but I discovered that IOT devices like smart switches can not be isolated from my main network while connected to an AP even on the AP Guest network. So I configured my AP back to a Router and added the routes manually. Now my IOT devices on my second device can be isolated. All IOT devices are on Guest networks that are isolated from Main network.
Noticed that the firmware-file is over 4MiB smaller than most of the previous versions.
The firmware wasn't this "small" since the 382-days.
How come?
No idea... maybe they are calling it done and took out diagnostic code... next release to be AiMesh 2.0 code.

AiMesh 2.0?
Hmm... Sounds like a good reason to stay on the "official" fw. Now, to finish the add on project for official...Exactly... AiMesh 2.0? Our wish list... guest WLANs on remote nodes; support for standard roaming protocols; add your own wish here.

Maybe the router detected radar interference and chose to overrule you. I suggest you try 149 and above. If you have AiMesh wireless backhauls, stay on the channel that settles to the best RSSI/Tx/Rx values in the Wireless Log. For me, that is 153.

Interesting! After scanning with Wifi-Analzyer channel 64 was suggested... was surprised the router would override this..
Which Wifi analyser do you use?My WiFi Analyzer ALWAYS recommends the channel I am not using. I've ignored it since day one.
The router is doing the actual radio work to FCC standards... if it decides something, I would be inclined to respect this first.
