well then again, I am in a more-or-less non-congestested place ...very small town setup.
but then again again, in other town I recently fixed problem folks were having connecting mutiple devices -- ( I put their ZITO cable WiWimodem in bridge mode) setup an oldass E2500 to suit their needs and also PW they liked and all has been good for month now.
yeahuh--- it is real 2.4 congested area but they are happy now -- so I'm happy
I'm curious: https://itectec.com/network/the-802-11-mtu/ Various overhead? Is there a handy command-line or utility available, to see if the WiFi is in-sync with the WAN MTU? _________________ R6250 with fan on; wifi off

the RTS/CTS looks different than your qca settings
do i just set rts threshold to 784 and leave the rest as is? is the fragmentation threshold related to it as well?
I found a problem with this CTS Protection Mode "Auto" option, because I want to make sure RTS/CTS is used and "Auto" seems to disable it giving the drop outs I get after a while.
I have another DD-WRT router and it has the option to explicitly set CTS and RTS/CTS and I never experience these drop outs on it.
Is there any way to make sure the router uses CTS and RTS/CTS?
We literally could not view any multimedia using the "recommendations" of 784/534 on any DD-WRT supported platform very readily, and wifi stability was subpar. Could've been coupled with the ACK timing and other recommendations being askew, such as prime numbers being used for BI. Still not sure where sir twindragon6 seems to think that 90 for ACK timing as noted in his wiki edit works, but more recent temporary implementations to provide wifi access may invoke testing that information. As always, use of a good wifi analyzer app and throughput testing with iperf3 and other means sure does help in testing. _________________ "The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

I have been using these settings (both at 784) for about 3 years now, without issues from 3 different sites with many different type of wifi devices. _________________ Home Network on Telus 1Gb PureFibre - 10GbE Copper Backbone
