I noticed lots of IP connections 3 ~ 4,0000 or so on the EA8500 with this build.
I also use unbound ....of course its likely to have thousands of IP connections on a reboot
or install depending on how many clients are connected. EA8500 seemed normal for
about 24 hrs then went way crazy with IP connections but it never crashed or rebooted itself.
anyways I moved on to newer build up 20 hrs and still looks fine

sounds more like you're using smartdns.
since unbound is working on external request from your local network, you should check whats causing such massive dns request amount. unbound does not start dns requests by itself _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?

NO smartDNS, just simple unbound.
The br1 net does use QUAD9 DNS.
It's all good --- I forgot about my daughter being here over weekend and she is always into sompin with her iPhoney & winders laptop.
Nothing has changed with my config in long long time and it's sorking very well ---

Upgraded my old WZR-HP-G300NH from build 44340 to 44406 in the GUI. Patience is the keyword. I didn't time it, but it really takes a long time to start up, more like 10 minutes than the 5 in the upgrade countdown. Maybe even 15 minutes.
Restored settings from the latest backup and it runs, however ...
Opening the bandwidth display window takes the router to a 100% load within less than half the time scale of the window. I don't care to wait what bad things might happen if I keep the bandwidth window open. The router needs to be working, not me working the router too often.
Same behaviour as on build 44340.

Sure. Unless a specific reason comes up to not do that, I restore settings from the previous version, if it is not comparatively ancient.
I would have to make screenshots from the majority of GUI pages otherwise. There used to be a script, nicknamed the Frater script, which would write settings to a script file, which one could use to reload, but that was ages ago.
I liked it. Used it on this very router, BTW.
I probably have it somewhere, as I have backups of previous computers.

I found the script, or at least my version of it. It involves a file with variables not to be restored and that file may be obsolete by now. I still used the script in 2016.
My version is based on this:
https://forum.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Useful_Scripts#Backup_settings_and_restore_them
My notes say I removed the FTP/Curl parts from the original.
What makes not resetting at all so different from restoring the last backup?
I make backups after every little thing I change.
I had to reset the router, as I first had tried upgrading with TFTP and failed, because I made mistakes. The net result was that last night the router had not recovered well from its keep alive reboot as I found out in the morning.
I didn't try the GUI first, because I had little faith in it in the case of this router (= long history of failing gui upgrades). Perhaps it was all due to a lack of patience.
I thought I'd post running 44406 on this obsolete router, so others might gain confidence it can be done.

R9000 :
I'm sure there's some issue accessing from physical network to 5Ghz on last builds, and inversely.
I have some disconnections after a couple of hours (for sure after 24h), I can't reach my windows 10 PC using VNC.
Machines don't always answer to ping.
Archer C5 v1 after about 24h. Wi-Fi is on (SSID is on) but not reachable. Disconnected all devices. Can't connect to wi-fi.
Issue on 44251, 44406...
No issue on 43192... (VHT80)
I reset, and wrote all the parameters on that builds, no update.
and I confirm, no issue on 43192 after 48h, where I can reach my PC from physical network to Wifi 5ghz. _________________
