What would you recommend to try? I dont think there are any settings to change, so I need to swap ROMs.
I would recommend switching to a global release, that's the easiest to try

I still had issues with 5 GHZ 160 MHz with the Laptop. I could connect to the WLAN but had no connection to the interenet (I Use the AX 3600 as stupid AP without Routing, all Interfaces are placed in the LAN). Aftzer Starting the wireless Interface new and switching back to 80 MHz the connection was successful. Now i changed to 160 Mhz again and all workes fine.
For me is happening the same in both bands (with all releases i've tried). If you put the router in AP mode (no dhcp, static lan ip, firewall off, wlan only), there is no internet the second time you reconnect to the ap.
If you reboot the router and connect, first time everything is ok, when you disconnect and reconnect (in my case I connected to other ap I have, and then reconnect), there is no internet.
I had to put AX6 in router mode to solve this problem, because it's happening in Coolsnowwolf, robiemarko and Boos releases, 5.10 and 5.15
I'm having exactly the same problem... with ax3600
Can you link those?

It sounds like the old problem of MAC addresses not getting flushed (known issue). See this post for a workaround.
So some observations, and consolidation of info from across this thread that seems to be going well for me that this point, on my AX3600, running the latest (as of Jan 29th) Robi K5.15.15 codebase. It is acting as the main router against a Cable Modem which is bridged:
Memory seems to be behaving much better now with the 512MB patch in place.at 13 hours uptime, the device is sitting at 128MB free out of 407.75MB total.
I was having the issue where some wireless clients couldn't connect/transi…

Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: add support for BSS coloring
The color change (color change announcement) is very similar to how CSA works where
we have an IE that includes a counter. When the counter hits 0, the new
color is applied via an updated beacon.
This patch makes the CSA counter functionality reusable, rather than
implementing it again. This also allows for future reuse incase support
for other counter IEs gets added.

Whenever the MAC detects a color collision or any of its associated station
detects one the FW will send out an event. Add the code to parse and handle
this event. and pass the data up to mac80211.
The FW does not provide an offload feature such as the one used for CSA. The
color change process is hence triggered via the beacon offload tx completion events
sent out by the FW.

mac80211/ath11k:FW Initiated Dynamic MU-EDCA
Implementing the updating of firmware initiated dynamic MU-EDCA
parameters in Beacon IE. Firmware routinely checks its clients and
updates its MU-EDCA values every 3 seconds. Firmware is tuning
MU-EDCA parameters to improve performance. As part of this process,
the firmware informs host about new MU-EDCA values utilizing
WMI_MUEDCA_PARAMS_CONFIG_EVENTID. FW expectation is that host will
update MU-EDCA parameters in the Beacon IE.
Implementation consists of:
(1) Receiving updated parameters through event in ATH11k
(2) Passing updated parameters ATH11k -> mac80211 -> cfg80211
(3) Passing updated parameters to user space.

Thanks, is the qca-ssdk-shell added in your build @robimarko ? Maybe it's interesting to add it by default in the builds and the script, because it's a common fault when in AP mode
Thanks @psi-c will try it or rebuild if not included that package, it was broking my head this week trying a lot of releases for AX6, but definitely the one with 5.15 is the most performance in terms of low ram usage and speed

I hope i haven't put the trail together incorrectly, but here's some info:
I believe hostapd was updated to version 2.10 as part of this commit .
Within openwrt, looking here , it looks like coloring was added upstream if not defined in config.
Oh great, I was following that commit as part of Johns original BSS coloring patches and they had merged all except for the random BSS color one.
This would explain why I am getting really good performance even without defining BSS coloring, this is good as its one less thing to worry as we are already using Hostapd 2.10.
That's already been committed for some time and I have seen it, but this doesn't fix the problem. That commit leaves us with a random bss color, yes, but the "BSS Color Disabled" is set to 1 (Yes) which disables bss colouring
But what's the purpose of random BSS color then?
But you are right, it broadcasts the BSS color, in my case it chose 0xa aka 10 but BSS Color Disabled is set to True.
Ok, so they are setting it cause clients are crap and require BSS color despite it being disabled.
Right now hostapd's behaviour is, if a number is set in he_bss_color= then that number is broadcasted allong with the flag "BSS Color Disabled" to zero, otherwise, this flag is set to 1 and a random number is broadcasted
Adding a random option in openwrt's script won't work as it will not be dynamic, and can interfere with local stations that might be already using that color, and if by some chance they are openwrt they will colide, over and over causing performance losses.
As for the MU-EDCA patches they should help provide better WMM(QoS) dynamically with the required needs.
Well, I assume that they weren't generic enough.
ath11k looks to already know if there is a collision and propagates that to mac80211https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/ath.git/commit/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k?h=ath-next&id=886433a984254c6d2c2074688dc8f48c40b1c070
