This release has solved some longstanding issues and Wi-Fi Clients, especially 2.4GHz and 5GHz, stay connected a lot better now. I've only been using this version for ~12 hours but the difference is very notable. I have one particular IOT device that would complain every few hours, and it hasn't complained once now.

I'm having the same issue as the previous firmware where I lose wifi connections, some clients still show as connected even though they are not. I've also seen where all the SSIDs dissapear as well. Wired connections continue to work. I have MLO set on the main network for wifi 7 devices then 2.4ghz and 5ghz on separate SSIDs on the guest network. I reverted back to 3.0.0.6.102_38984 which has always been perfectly stable for me after sending them a debug report.

This version is working well for me. Have 5 and 6GHz. main network on MLO, plus an IoT network with 2.4 and 5GHz. A place for all my devices, and all are working well. Best yet here. Also have an IoT router (RT-AX3000) and a media bridge for the HDhomerun (XT8) that are playing nicely with the RT-BE96U. No AiMesh, though, don't need it. Full coverage with the RT-BE96U (and RT-AX3000).

Thanks for your response, that may be helpful, because my setup is similar except that I am using all 3 bands with MLO. It still seems like I should be able to use all 3 though.
