My device is very slow after switching to latest stable version. wan port is disconnecting. is it a bug or is it more a cable thing? I did not start immediately after upgradeing though. It is only a few days where it started to break.
From what previous version?
Have you tried the least expensive in time and configuration (i.e., testing if it's the cable)?
Since you possess the device, it would be better if you tried.
Can you describe?

I have no problems with my two R7800 but I am using the non-ct ATH10K firmware.
I did have a flapping wan interface due to EEE:
Wan interface goes up and down periodically
My R7800 which is my main router has been running for months without a hiccup running on 23.05.5 but 23.05 is slowly coming to an end so I started to test 24.10.2
Everything is working great except for one annoying problem.
The wan interface periodically restarts, I did not notice it in daily usage as the restarts, usually two or three times, happened during the night or in periods we were not at home.
After some searching I identified a couple of …
24..10.2 –> 24.10.5
I need unfortunately travel to change cables.
Connecting to router takes up to a minute and browsing inside luci takes very long as well. Connected TrueNAS is not accessible at all.
I realized I got same error message in a different location (same router, same setup) as well, but overall I am not much affected.

That is not a major upgrade.
Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button (red circle; this works best in the 'Markdown' composer view in the blue oval):
Remember to redact passwords, VPN keys, MAC addresses and any public IP addresses you may have:
ubus call system board
cat /etc/config/network
cat /etc/config/wireless
cat /etc/config/dhcp
cat /etc/config/firewall
Thank you, I will check as soon as I am at the premises. Sounds promising.

here we go: btw I thought I do a upgrade, maybe it helps, but it did not.

I have disconnects with 24.10.5 and OpenWrt 25.12.0-rc2 r32429-d76c64ad00.
This was a dead end, because EEE was disabled.
Your /etc/config/network file looks very incomplete. Is that just a copy/paste error (if so, please repost). If that's the complete output, there is something very wrong there (FWIW, there are some issues I can see in the file now anyway, but we need to see the complete file first).

You are right, it looks like I did not cut and paste the entire /etc/config/network.
Something is seriously wrong here...
The config has both swconfig and DSA stanzas. This should not be.
I would recommend resetting the router to defaults and starting over.

I guess simply deleting old swconfig entries will do the trick. I ordered a new OO device and what I read it comes with latest OpenWRT preconfigured, that solves this problem.
Overall I guess old leftovers are not the cause for my unresponsive OpenWRT device.
I experienced it on other R7800 devices as well. I think maybe upgrading to latest OpenWRT 25.12.0-rc2 solved my problem. At least no errors appeared in kernel log since rebooting yesterday. All my self-hosted apps working just fine. Finger crossed. I report back if problem comes back. Thanks for your help.
