Merry Christmas Voxel, and a happy new year too.

You may try other nice firmwares, such as dd-wrt and openwrt; however, both firmwares don't support hardware acceleration. DD-WRT Openwrt

Well, it's just painful to get an identical power supply. Guess i need to buy a new router or find a "broken" second-hand R7800 for it's power supply. TBH buying a variable voltage dc power supply just to make R7800 work is just dumb.

I have the same problem as you (one channel is down, other work just fine), it seems to be random and can be solved by rebooting. I wonder the QCA9984 and wifi FEM chips are degraded over time?

WiFi 7 Router is almost out, but i am still using R7800 because Voxel👍

Is there reason for that? Maybe higher gain antenna? Better Signal integrity?

Also, surprised for the power consumption, at lease the flagship wifi 7 routers that comes with a 60W (19V/3.16A) power adapter. Seems not good for your electric bill.

IMO you should turn on WMM on both 5ghz and 2.4ghz all the time, otherwise, you will cap your wifi bandwidth under 100 Mbps per device no matter 2.4 or 5 ghz you connect to. Beside, turning on WMM won't affect the "priority", as long as the "Dynamic QOS" is turn off, it will remain "first come...

If your internet bandwidth is enough, turn on QOS will slow it down. From my experience, QOS always "reserve" some bandwidth for nothing. I got a gigabit internet connection(~950 Mbps Up/Down Link). My pc connected to it by wire which got 910 Mbps up/down with QOS and 940 Mbps up/down without...

i skip the 97.1 & 97.4 update, upgrade to 98 flawlessly. it's very stable as always, thx @Voxel

The NAND model seems to be EOL, you may try your luck on local electronic repair store first. You could try search it on ailexpress, but there is chance you will get the counterfeit one, so beware. Moreover, It's from china, so shipping is unpredictable.

Best firmware for R7800 provide better security and faster speed, and the ONLY reason I still staying on R7800 as main router.

I saw 2022 Redmi Router AX6000 from AliExpress is using Mediatek solution (Filogic 830/MT7986A). I'm not posting the link here, you have to search it on aliexpress. But it lacks multi-gig LAN/WAN and runs hot, it still better than IPQ5018 solution.

It seems that mediatek wanna tie with Qualcomm and Broadcom in WIFI 7 in terms of performance. Nevertheless, hopefully WIFI 7 has good compatibility across all generation.

Just upgraded to 94.4, rock solid stability, been working 24/7 flawlessly.
