AC5300 issue

[andreist]

Hello!

I have an AC5300 which is currently running merlin 380.65_4 - upgrading on 66.0 and 68.0 (haven't tried other updates yet) causes the following issue: I have some devices connected to the 2.4G network, and some apps that try to detect those devices ,don't seem to detect them anymore. Some of those devices run webservers which I can call by ip and they do seem to work, I also have a printer connected which doesn't get autodetected by my computer anymore, not sure what else i can think of to describe here, let me know if you have any ideas, or if there's anything else i can provide for better assistance!

I see 68.2 was released today, i'll try to give it a go and update here if anything (good) changes

Try disabling AirTime fairness on the Professional tab of the 2.4Ghz band

thanks! at a first glance this seems to work! any explanation for why this has to be set to disabled on these newer firmwares?
