Upgraded WRT1200AC v1's from r46816 to r46836 using Brave 1.10.97 (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 2+ 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 4.9.269 #2636 SMP Tue Jun 1 02:53:24 +07 2021 armv7l
Primary clients used for testing:
iPhone SE 2020 - IOS 14.6
iphone 8 - IOS 14.5.1
Problem #1: This build ran for about an hour before the usual problems started. Wifi hangups on mobile devices - the two iphones listed above in this case. i've seen it on macos on other builds. This problem started happening 10 months ago with 44085. Wifi remains connected but traffic stops flowing. Happened on both iphones at the same time at 8:04 in the logs. logs and dmesg attached.
Problem #2 - Process dump - same as with build 46750 but different than the dumps that were happening after 46069 and before 46750. dmesg attached.
Problem #3: GUI is slow to respond - even with firefox. Then it will be snappy for a minute or two, then hang up again. Makes it tough to troubleshoot #1 and #2.
Went back to 44048 which is the last good release if you have Apple devices (and possibly others) in your environment. Something broke starting with 44085.

I'm not having the same problems as pbphoto on this build. I still have the issue with the Spoofing messages from the PI4, being connected to both Wifi and Ethernet (Eth=static).
As BS stated in a comment to my crashes on previous builds - this was about the number of leases being used up, and the kernel error being due to that. I have not changed any Apple configs in my infrastructure, but then again - they don't throw the spoofing messages into my DMESG - only the Raspberry does.
My Samsung S9+ which stopped completely in previous builds, has so far not stopped. (18H uptime) But it still starts out really fast (500Mb/s on Speedtest up/down), saturating my internet line - and after a couple of hours, its reduced to ca 20 Mbits up/down.
When it comes to Kernel crashes, I have not experienced them, since 46772 which was the build that BS stated he had made some changes to prevent them.
Notably I don't have the "ieee80211 phy0: Stop BA <MAC-ADDRESS>" messages anymore, that pbphoto's log if filled up with.
UPDATE:The S9 wifi stops entirely on this build as well. Just later.....
UPDATE2: Something is still rotten in the state of Denmark....
After 24H uptime - windows clients loose the DNS. Ping 8.8.8.8 works - but ping Google.com does not. Browser clients (obviously) cannot connect to anything. Interestingly ping 8.8.8.8 + google.com works on terminal on the router.
The syslog states for my Raspberry "not giving name rasp4 to the DHCP lease of 192.168.2.105 because the name exists in /etc/hosts with address 192.168.2.204 with a timestamp of June 2nd at 18:01. The only problem with that, is that I turned of the wifi interface of the PI (192.168.2.105) some 15 Hours earlier. (..yes - double checked that)
DMESG for this happening seems, well..empty. It did'nt produce any messages after I tested the PI on wifi+ether, and it produced the spoof-message. That was yesterday. After that nothing!

Can I turn on the log and look for something? I am new.
Assuming you ask about log for the Router, that is described several places here. What I do:
1. Enable SSHd in services menu
2. Login with Putty or SSH - username is "root" - password the same as you set for the router.
3. Run DMESG and redirect to a file ("dmesg > dmesg.txt")
4. Run WinSCP - login to router and download "dmesg.txt" and var/log/messages (Enable syslog for this)
You can upload those files here - and may get some help.
For the S20/21 - I dont know if it is the same as on my S9. But what I did, was enabling developer options, enable extended logging of Wifi. Additionally I turned off Wifi Scan Throttling, and Wifi Mac address randomization. Also added a static address for the S9 - and configured it to use that. Its fairly stable - but eventually requires a wifi restart to stay connected.
As stated Apples work fine here now - so it seems the problem has been transferred to Samsung...
