Still having random wifi issues. I noticed that now when they occour I don't have anymore multiple "ieee80211 phy1: Mac80211 start BA..." rows on messages log (as I reported in r46259 thread) but for two hosts of my LAN (always my wife's MacBook Pro and my iPad) wifi still get stucks suddenly very often, and this happens only for them (other hosts seems work fine). I have upgraded by too short time to report generalized wifi lock (requiring reboot) for all network devices, as I experienced during whole last mounth: will report them if they occour.
[UPDATE 1] After about three hours uptime, I had another time this row
repeated hundred of times in messages log, with MacBook Pro (HW addr 08:f8:bc:xx:xx:xx) unable to open new sessions on internet.
[UPDATE 2] I ran a Zoom test call for an hour on MBP, and it disconnetted only once, but it has reconnected by itself after about one minute. During whole call I took an eye on messages logs, and noticed that almost everytime I tried to open gmail I had hundred of “80211 start BA” logs, but as I said it has bone offline only once and came online by itself after one minute.
Don’t know anymore what to think!

DMESG log enclosed.
Update:
Syslog indicates an OpenVPN error "Interrupted system call (code=4). Stopped OpenVPN server via GUI. Wireless speed on Galaxy S9+ went from ca 280 mbit to 500 mbit (fast.com). Restarted OpenVPN server via GUI. 9+ Speed unaffected. Still fast. S9+ disconnected manually from Router and reconnected on wifi. Speed back down to 280Mbits. Stopped OpenVPN in GUI again - and S9+ Went back up to 500mbits. This is consistently reproducible. I attached messages as well. Load average is stated as 0.
Upgraded WRT1200AC v1's from r46259 to r46294 using Brave 1.10.91 (64-bit) running on Linux Mint 20.1 OS hardwired via Cat6.
Successful update and reboot. No reset, nothing disabled prior to update, uptime approx 15 hrs, wired/wireless connected, vpn up immediately (Expressvpn). I do not use NAS. SFE, QoS and IPv6 are always disabled. OpenVPN client/DNSMasq and radios always enabled. I do not have any Apple devices.
Kernel Version Linux 4.9.264 #2534 SMP Tue Apr 6 02:47:36 +07 2021 armv7l
No issues with a routine update session. One thing I have noticed is my streaming device diagonally furtherest from my router is now showing signal strength maxed at 100% again. This release and the previous two show the same. Several releases back the wifi signal strength dropped as low as 55% but had stabilized at around 60 - 65 %. No changes in my environment so glad to see the return to normal.
