As you can see from the new packages, there are FIRMWARE packages, perhaps the issue is with them.
I donāt see this issue on my end. No problem with my Intel AX201 card (2402/2402 (Mbps)) or Pixel 8 but I'll keep an eye out for it. My current 24.10.3 build is from yesterday and uptime is only ~22h.
With this equipment, do you connect exclusively to 2.4G?
I look forward to your reports.
You mean you did a package upgrade after upgrading to 24.10.3? Thatās generally discouraged.
What are your wireless settings? What logs do you see when this is happening? What if you disable irqbalance (I donāt use it myself).
My router has been perfectly stable on 24.10.3. Only a few 2.4G clients using N mode, Channel 11, 20 MHz.

I compiled the firmware using ASU. I know it's not recommended to update one package at a time, and I wouldn't attempt to manually update dozens of packages either. So, the first firmware, 24.10.3, works with these settings, but the same firmware, with the updates released yesterday, doesn't. The same applies to yesterday's snapshot. I'll try updating again this evening to the version compiled yesterday and try your suggestion. The only thing that changed during the update was deleting the "syslog-ng" package, as it had disappeared. But I don't think the logging package is the cause of the WiFi glitches.
In total, my version received 58 updates, but most of them were language packs, but there were also quite a few system updates.
I also mentioned that when upgrading from version 24.10.2 and 24.10.3 to a snapshot and back, with the settings preserved, the WAN doesn't work over IPv4. It seems to work over IPv6, at least it receives addresses. I also read in a test thread about this router that someone had similar WiFi issues, but they had their own drivers and their own edits. He discovered a conflict with the "bridger" package, and after removing it, everything worked fine. That's also worth trying.
So there was no issue with updating to standard 24.10.3?
Everything was working fine until yesterday's updates. So, if you install the very first version from the website and add your own packages, everything will be fine, but if you compile it with your own packages right now, things might not work as well.
Or, when adding the packages you need, you'll end up with a new version that conflicts... You need to try. Make backups first so you can roll back to a stable version))).

Is your MT6000 an AP? Do you even have bridger installed? It's intended for dumb APs, generally. You mention WAN not working, so I'm assuming yours is also a router.
My experience may be different since I always create a new imagebuilder build with all my settings embedded via files and uci-defaults and run a sysupgrade -n whenever I upgrade. Nice and clean for me.
A router with a single network and fast roaming settings for 2.4G and 5G. I save and restore the settings using standard Luci tools.
Basically, it's not a settings issue. I flashed the image I built yesterday without saving the settings and couldn't access the router at all. Only the IPv6 address is displayed, no IPv4. When manually entering 192.168.1.10 and 255.255.255.0, I can access the router interface via 192.168.1.1. The internet connection is also almost non-functional. I don't add or change any settings during the build; everything is as is by default. I only add packets, and that's how it works. Just in case, I rebuilt the image today using ASU 24.10.3, but nothing changed. It doesn't work. The packet list is the same. The build from September 22, 2025, works as usual. If you have the time and inclination, build it now and see how it goes with your configuration.
Does that suggest dnsmasq is failing to startup and serve DHCPv4? System logs would be helpful when it's in that state.
My package list is relatively modest:
bind-dig
htop
luci-ssl
tcpdump-mini
diffutils
nano-full
curl
mtr
luci-app-adblock
luci-app-sqm
What packages do you add beyond the base install?
I have a lot more))). A complete list of all packages from the firmware.

I can't check right now. It's evening, the family is online and watching TV. They won't understand))).
If I manually enter IPv4 in the network card settings, I can access the router. It's not distributing DHCP. I haven't figured out the exact details. It's evening, the family, watching TV))).
I updated the Snapshot today. It updated a lot of packages again, and everything started working as before. Things are getting more and more interesting.

The issue has been found and resolved.
When uninstalling the "syslog-ng" package via Luci, the dependent packages "glib2" and "libdbi" are also uninstalled, resulting in a broken internet connection and no log output. DHCP over IPv4 was restored after the package update. Yesterday, 58 packages were updated and didn't work, but today, 59 packages have already been updated. I didn't check for package errors because I don't have time. Moreover, today's snapshot automatically pulled in "glib2" and "libdbi," unlike the stable 24.10.3. It seems the dependencies in the .apk are much better built than in the .ipk.

Are you updating packages after install of 24.10.3? This is really discouraged for release builds. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnāt.
Been running 23.10.3 with lots of added packages and configs here, has been flawless for me, but I donāt update any built-in pkgs as per this best practice.
Planning to go back to snapshots this weekend though because I miss bleeding edge.

Anyone having wireless issues with 24.10.3? Iāve been running 24.10.2 flawlessly for months. I upgraded all three of my devices to 24.10..3 and I noticed some wireless connection problems.
I didnāt have time to t-shoot (but I still have logs captured). I just rolled back to 24.10.2 and things were stable again. We were watching the Blue Jays vs Mariners game and couldnāt be interrupted.
Not to sound any alarm bells, Iām just curious if anyone else had some intermittent connection issues with 24.10.3
