I noticed we now have the ability on both MX4300 and MR7350 to completely turn off QCA NSS Subsystem. Note this option does not show up on the EA8500 so I assume this would be on AX routers only. I have not had time to mess around with it yet but wondering if this completely prevents the nss kernel modules from loading, therefore not using nearly as much RAM? _________________ - Linksys EA8500: I-Gateway, WAP/VAP 5ghz only.

That looks like the flash chip may be going bad. Did you try to reflash. mtd18 on this router is the dd-wrt partition. Is it booting? I am not seeing this on my EA8500 running this release. _________________ - Linksys EA8500: I-Gateway, WAP/VAP 5ghz only. Features: VLANs, Samba, WG, Entware - r60xxx

Nvram related issue?
Im currently in the process of scraping my old Netgear 7800 in favour for a new Linksys MR7350.
Everything in this Build is working fine so far.
But when I try to run a speedtest via 2.4GHz (connected to a mobile phone of mine) using nperf.com . The 2.4GHz WiFi and 5GHz Wifi become unresponsive and the Syslog is filled with this:
