Have you read this issue. There are posts that have useful suggestions.
Have you played with Flow Control settings of the router switch or the NICs,
I use R7800 and had similar issues when streaming over LAN to 100Mbps clients (TVs, Set-top boxes).
Currently I use a workaround as written on this post but you may want to read other thread posts too. It's really useful discussion there.

Thanks. But I am not using this device as router, only as an access point/switch.
I do my custom builds which I disable dhcp/dnsmasq, firewall, etc. So there is no NAT, no WAN, no Firewall, no Flow offload involved.
One of the LAN ports is connected upstream to a NanoPI R4S (my actual router), and one of the LAN other ports is connected downstream to other switches in my network (both Gigabit).
What I experienced is packet loss between the wired Gigabit LAN ports when there was traffic in one of the switch ports that was connected to the Samsung TV (100Mbps). I just disconnected the TV from the LAN port and the packet loss in the Gigabit ports was gone.
It seems to be an Ethernet Switch driver issue, no WAN, no NAT, no firewall involved.

I see but it seems this is an issue with the switch itself when mixed clients are connected to it (mixed 100Mbps and 1Gbps devices). More specifically the Flow Control settings of the switch ports. Not a NAT, Firewall issue when RT3200 is used as a router. If you read my posts you'll see that I experienced the same LAN traffic interruptions that I didn't think initially were connected with this specific setting. I believed it was NAT or other issue but as you can see it was caused by the Flow Control settings of my LAN devices.

Flow control is something else than Flow offloading. Flow control is something that is used on Layer 2, so purely using it as a switch can and will still trigger that bug.

for all-in-ones yeah. Basically any mt7622-based device would be a good choice, but unfortunately only few of those with OpenWRT support exist and mt7622 chips overall are still rare. Thanks to the still ongoing chip crisis, all of mt7622 are currently rather low on stock.
If you see a batch of available RT3200 or 8450, dont hesitate too long.

good evening everyone, i came across this recent topic on pipermail i own a rt3200 and the title of this topic and this week'supdate, would this be the 22.03 version fully supported for future devices such as belkin rt3200?? thanks
If you're in the US, belkin.com/us/ has had the RT3200 in stock every time I've checked. I got another one a couple months back with a "first time customer" coupon for US$90, listed right now at the regular price of $100.
I got one on walmart dot com for $80 a few weeks ago. Back up to $99 now but in stock. US only??

do they sell outside UK ?
Amazon.co.uk sells it to different country for 53 pounds. Depending on your country the shiping is 4 pounds to Germany to 19 pounds for shiping to Bulgaria. The good thing is that it comes with replacable UK and EU plelectric plug

Yes perfect! I noticed that before but forgot:
With Amazon reselling Ebuyer you can forward to anywhere right? And Ebuyer is very reputable so that is the third party seller you should definitely choose.
Yep.I can not even open the ebuyer page from Bulgaria, but trought Amazon Uk I didn't have any issue and it was fullfilled by ebuyer.

and just 6h later, the amazon.uk bargain is sold out.
Just to make sure:
does anyone know, are there any regional restrictions hard-coded anywhere in the WiFi chip or config partition ? (like as in the dreaded Linksys WRT series?)
e.g. if I buy it via UK, will it be a UK model made for UK WiFi regulations? Or is there just one EU variant, sold everywhere in the EU, just with different power adapters?
UK and EU/ETSI regulations are identical, plus OpenWrt allows overriding the regulatory domain using the country option.
