RT-BE92U and Merlin 3006.102.7_2

[GoNz0]

Everything was running fine on 3006.102.7, then I saw my router was no longer "not going to get another update" and put 3006.102.7_2 on.
Since then it's been a rollercoaster. I just saw a related reply in the Merlin post but can't reply as the threads locked.
Things will be going fine, then suddenly everything starts dropping off the router and mesh nodes. I reboot the nodes then the router and the same thing happens, I have to power cycle the router for it to behave again, seems odd, why doesn't a reboot do the same as a power cycle.
Anyway, just here to say 3006.102.7_2 is buggy on the BE92U after a dirty upgrade from 3006.102.7
I was about to factory reset the router until I saw this post https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asuswrt-merlin-3006-102-7-is-now-available.96796/post-989428 where @aex.perez has already done this and the problem remains.

As I understand it the Merlin project needs to wait on ASUS for refinement and fixes in their code. There is another thread Looking for Feedback: RT-BE92U stability issues that explains this better.

I've had it running on my RT-BE92U for several weeks now without any problem. Dirty update from latest original Asus Firmware to 102.7_2

I honestly don’t know if it will help you or not, but my RP-BE58 was failing to hold a connection with my RT-BE92U main router, even when I downgraded it to a media bridge from AiMesh. Then I saw this post from user random9 and changed the control channel from the new default of 100 to. 149 and it restore stability.

Release - Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.7 is now available

wired of course, why would i use wireless for a WAN speed test? it would introduce unnecessary latency... Thank goodness. Are you bypassing the router, and plugging this device directly into the WAN cable coming out of your modem?

Unrelated to that, I also had a main router crash last week that according to my log, came when I walked through my house with my phone then running IOS 26.4.1 to take the dog out. It took my wife out of her Zoom meeting for a few minutes and I heard about it when I got back. This week, my Zenwifi BD-4 near my garage got a stock firmware update addressing:

Wi-Fi roaming stability for devices supporting 802.11k but not allowing 11v.
Wi-Fi roaming compatibility and stability for iOS 26 devices

You meant, you updated from stock Asus firmware to Merlin firmware without the need to factory reset?
