This release fixes the MESH connection issue on the EA8500 on the previous public release (r59045). I felt confident enough with this release to go ahead and upgrade all in-use routers to it. _________________ - Linksys EA8500: I-Gateway, WAP/VAP 5ghz only.

Did anyone else notice the Administration/Network Stack Tuning/Max Connections range changed from 256-65535 to 256-4294967295? That quite a lot of connections! lol

Looks like ip_conntrack_max setting is broken in this build. This is under the above mentioned setting Max Connections. Changing it in the WebUI from 4096 to anything higher makes it go back to 8192 and will not accept anything higher. Even manually setting with nvram command doesn't fix it.
Code:
nvram set ip_conntrack_max=65535
The nvram variable does change, but the router boots back to 8192. _________________ - Linksys EA8500: I-Gateway, WAP/VAP 5ghz only. Features: WDS-AP, VLANs, Samba, WG, Entware - r59429

I am able to set it to 65535
with:
nvram set ip_conntrack_max=65535 && nvram commit

Mode/Status: Gateway (NSS-ECM-SFE), Access Point (5GHZ AX/AC/N mixed, WPA2/WPA3, 802.11r/v/k, guest network, domain:PANAMA), performance governor, IPV6 (DHCP6 w/ prefix delegation), Entware, DOT via SmartDNS/DNSMasq, OpenVPN server, Wireguard Server + 2 Wired access points (2.4GHz N/G Mixed, 5GHZ AX/AC/N mixed, WPA2/WPA3, 802.11r/v/k, guest network, domain:PANAMA)
Issues/Errors:
Up 22 hours. USB 3.2 stick working properly for Entware and "jffs" partitions. Speed (tested via nPerf.com) is very close to published, which is equal or favorable to the ISP router. Wireguard and OpenVPN servers both working as expected and throughput sufficient to open video files on network shares. 2.4GHz showing 28dbm, 5GHz showing 23dBm (both for 30dBm).
Seems to be quite stable.
Update: Multiple devices keep losing connectivity to the 5GHz on the two access points. A reboot of the access point resolves the issue, but it happens every few hours. Finally gave up and put the R7800s back as access points. _________________ Formerly dpp3530 Linksys MR7350 / Netgear R7800

I too am seeing this on my EA8500 gateway, but only on one VAP, wlan1.2 which is on my Media VLAN. It stopped spitting the error about 12 hours ago and I have not see it return. _________________ - Linksys EA8500: I-Gateway, WAP/VAP 5ghz only. Features: WDS-AP, VLANs, Samba, WG, Entware - r59429

If your router's light turns red, don't worry. Internet connection is ok.

I'm still testing and so not ready to post a full report yet, but FWIW, I have 59093 up on a Linksys MR7350 and am experiencing several spontaneous reboots per day. The config is essentially the same as I've had running on a WRT1900ACSv2 for several years without ever seeing a spontaneous reboot (with different VPN certs/keys), though I've not had this build up on that older router. In fact, these are my first spontaneous reboots ever, since I first brought up dd-wrt seven years ago. _________________ Dynalink DL-WRX36 on 58753, Linksys MR7350 and MX4200v2 on 59171, Netgear XR500 and 3x Linksys WRT1900ACSv2 on 57200: VLANs, VAPs, NAS, station mode, OpenVPN client (AirVPN), wireguard server (AirVPN port forward) and clients (AzireVPN, AirVPN, private), 3 DNSCrypt providers via VPN.

Re those MR7350 spontaneous reboots... I'm seeing now that the reboot interval can be less than an hour. Maybe before I was inactive long enough to not always notice a reboot?
Anyway, I did "strings /dev/mtd20 >oops" to capture the oops partition a file. Used scp to move it to my laptop for perusal. It's divided into blocks of lines by timestamps, which I assume signify different crashes. Here's one recent block that seems representative of the shorter ones

I don't know what to make of this really, but I hope it's not telling me that I borked the router when at one point early on I cluelessly tried to use the factory-image restoration procedure to do a dd-wrt webupgrade. The existence of that procedure led me to erroneously assume that "write... linux" as usual was not available.
Anyway, anyone know what to make of this or what to do more generally with a whole file of such oopsie info? _________________ Dynalink DL-WRX36 on 58753, Linksys MR7350 and MX4200v2 on 59171, Netgear XR500 and 3x Linksys WRT1900ACSv2 on 57200: VLANs, VAPs, NAS, station mode, OpenVPN client (AirVPN), wireguard server (AirVPN port forward) and clients (AzireVPN, AirVPN, private), 3 DNSCrypt providers via VPN.
