Router/Version: Linksys EA6350 / v2
File/Kernel: linksys-ea6350-webflash.bin / Linux 4.4.265 #2470 SMP Thu Apr 8 08:35:46 +07 2021 armv7l
Previous/Reset: First flash from stock via serial
Mode/Status: Client mode / Uptime about 8 hours, still doing OK*.
Issues/Errors: First ever flash with DD-Wrt! Desktop connected via LAN gets nearly full downstream bandwidth, but quite limited upstream to the Internet (original is about 250/250, desktop gets ~250/~30). Also tried in repeater mode, works good save for the expected 50% bandwidth reduction over wifi but same upstream issue over LAN. Could be issue w/ desktop, have not tested a lot. Have not tried most other modules, but I plan to use USB printer, VPN and 6in4. Will report results of these. Disabled 2.4GHz wireless, only using 5GHz _________________ Routers:

Kernel: Linux 4.4.265 #2475 SMP Fri Apr 9 08:05:47 +07 2021 armv7l
Previous/Reset: 46069/no
Mode/Status: running with issues
Issues/Errors: The 2.4 GHz Wlan does not show up in GUI and is also not working reliably. Sometimes after a reboot it is there again. Router looks up after a few days (one to multiple days randomly) of operation using builds starting around January 2021. In this situation established connections are still working but new connections are not possible. Also access via GIU or SSH will not work and only power switching will resolve the problem. I have seen this problems with various of the previous builds already. I don't use the experimental build.
The 5Ghz network is now using wl0 instead of wl1 as before. Looks to be the settings are also messed up with 2.4GHz setting. Network interface et1 looks to be the 5GHz now and eth2 is not available anymore when checking with CLI access. Likely the drive is not properly detecting the Wlan devices anymore?

Previous/Reset: 46069/no
Mode/Status: running
Issues/Errors: Wlan may get unreliably and disconnects after a few days. Seen with a few of the latest t releases.
I configured a weekly restart to get around some of the problems. May need to go to a nightly restart for more reliability at the moment. _________________ Asus AC-RT88U (Gateway, asus_rt-ac88u-firmware_52459.trx)

Is there anybody out there who is running an Asus RT-AC88U with an recent DDWRT build without problems? May be my router is slowly dying? The lookups and the "random" unavailability of the 2.4GHz Wlan may be the first symptom's. I need to find an older build which was running well for a while and downgrade to see if this will fix my issues.
