There are no Wi-Fi related changes in the changelog so I’m not quite sure as to what this could be due to.
Gotcha, I thought that wasn’t part of the wireless stack. That could be it, then.There was a new wireless driver in this version for the Fragattack fix.
I tried again from _4 to _6. My 2.4 GHz devices either don't connect, are really slow (sync or throughput) or lock up (my cable TV box). Really weird. I restarted etc.Gotcha, I thought that wasn’t part of the wireless stack. That could be it, then.
I just realized that except for the weird iPhone sleep issue my Logi Circle security cameras would also intermittently lose their connectivity, both on 2.4 and 5 GHz.I tried again from _4 to _6.

Back to _4 and no issues again with anything - it's really weird. AX86U

I’m also back to _4 now and everything works fine again.
It is strange. My notoriously finicky Nest HD Cameras are all on the 2.4GHz band and have been very stable on _6.Strange indeed. Others have no issues at all.
It's complicated but seems like faulty design. From SNB famous threads collection: Here.I see a lot of AC86U's being upgraded here. Mine had temp issues with 386.x the last time I did it (several weeks ago, >90C at idle), so I've gone back to running 384.x (75C at idle).
Is the general consensus that AC86U temp issues with 386.x are the result of hardware defect/failure? Or has the disabling of CPU wait support made it a non-issue unless there's a hardware defect/failure?

Fixed a ASUS RT AC86U with the Noctua fan solution and got a 15°C temp drop with the 386 firmware version that in my experience runs roughshod on router CPUs, contrasted with previous versions. Looking at the AX version case design, thinking of modding the front for even more cooling.Perhaps read this thread: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/ac86u-heat-sink-mod-er-hack.68940/
I "modded" my RT-AC86U with a thin piece of copper between CPU and heatsink:
cpu-die -> 0,5mm thermalpad ->1,0mm copper sheet -> 0,5mm thermalpad -> heatsink.
This "copper-mod" reduces cpu-temperature about 10°. SORRY for offtopic... btt...
