I'm suffering from network instability since I upgraded to 25.12.4
I have 1 router- Zyxel EX5601-T0 ubootmod
and 2 AP's - TP-Link Deco M4R v1
I expect the issue to be in the Deco's,
Wifi is instable near the Deco's,
sometimes there are no issues, but then suddenly all network traffic, both internal and external die.
the wifi symbol then still tells me the signal is strong.
Not sure if the issue is with 5Ghz, or 2.4Ghz
I can't see much in the log, is there something I could do?
Or should I replace my AP's?
```
root@OpenWrt:~# nano /etc/rc.local
root@OpenWrt:~# cat /etc/rc.local
# Put your custom commands here that should be executed once
# the system init finished. By default this file does nothing.
#Hotfix stability issues (TO be removed some day) see: https://openwrt.org/toh/zyxel/t-56
ethtool -s wan advertise 0x028
ethtool -s wan speed 1000 duplex full autoneg on
ethtool -s lan1 advertise 0x028
ethtool -s lan1 speed 1000 duplex full autoneg on
#End hotfix
exit 0
root@OpenWrt:~# ethtool -s wan advertise 0x028
root@OpenWrt:~# ethtool -s wan speed 1000 duplex full autoneg on

```
now both are running static on 1Gbps (I suppose)
Does internal traffic pass the 5601, if it doesn't, it's not related to the 5601.
it does for DNS routing. (udp causes less issues then tcp)
If you bypass the Decos, and connect to the 5601's wifi, is it stable?
there are no issues for devices directly connected to the T-56
I will monitor if the stability is improved,
now the only thing is to not forget about this file when I replace my AP's or a fix will be provided.
Unfortunately,
still one instance occurs where the WiFi on the deco died, (it recoverd in a few minutes)
I rebooted everything, but I think maybe I'm just at the limit of the 128MB RAM, while the AP is heavily used
[edit]:
The device on the lan interface never has issues, and checking the log, the issues seems to occur on the 5Ghz channel only (Qualcomm Atheros QCA9886 802.11ac/n),
So for now I disabled the 5Ghz on my deco's
