As we know the devices experienced problems after the Kernel 6.1 update, I would like to know which version of Kenel 4.9 is the most stable on wifi and which irbalance and SFE work correctly?
I hit those issues too (Ethernel network connection just drops after a while). Is it now recommended not to upgrade to kernel 6.x for WRT3200ACM until these will be sorted out or some specific steps are needed to make it work?

I am on 53915 and had a random crash and reboot ~16 hours ago after ~33 hours uptime, but unfortunately was not capturing logs when it happened. Tailing /var/log/messages and waiting to see if it happens again. I had several days' uptime on 53815. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

I thought someone had posted serial output *somewhere* (not sure if it was on a Marvell or Qualcomm/Atheros device), but I am currently running mine on 54700 alpha with SFE disabled as I am now on a 100Mbit/s down/20Mbit/s up connection and because it's randomly rebooted enough times at the wrong time to become an issue. I would suspect that serial logs would be the most helpful to determine what is going on, as this could be an issue with SFE in conjunction with the 6.1 kernel that has not been addressed upstream. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

UPDATE: I disabled SFE in DD-WRT settings and restarted the router. I get fully saturated download / upload gigabit from my ISP using Speed Test on my WRT3200ACM, so not sure if it really harmed anything. May be regular Linux network stack in 6.x already improved in the first place.
