So I’ve been reading through past threads on this topic and it was claim firmware 4.x was going to move to a newer version of open-ddrt. Whatever happened to that direction of travel? I’m seriously disappointed in the behaviour of this device. > [@AR750s Keeps disconnecting](https://forum.gl-inet.com/t/ar750s-keeps-disconnecting/6060): > > Hi, I bought a AR750s a couple of weeks ago and am starting to get very frustrated with it. I work on a ship where there is a captive portal and I use this to avoid having to sign in with all my devices as well as the OpenVPN function. However the connection to the main ship wifi network keep dropping out and reconnecting all the time, there is good signal and my phone stays connected easily to the main network so shouldnt be a problem with that, just this router seems to have issues. I am usin… ---

So are you asking about firmware 4.x or want to solve the disconnect problems? To solve the disconnect problems, pls give details, e.g. firmware version, log etc. ---

i am going to guess they are referring to the frequent connection drop out which have many threads on this forum covering it. i have it myself at least once per day the router will drop all connections and seem to perform a reboot. This has been for me over a year and i am currently using 3.211 ---

That’s it exactly. It’s very frustrating. I saw chatter in another post this would be resolved in firmware 4.x. So I’m wondering when this will be released. ---

I’m using firmware 3.211. I read in a previous post that a newer version of open-ddwrt would be incorporated in firmware version 4.x that may solve this issue that everyone seems to be chattering about in the forums. In fact, you (alzhao) were the one who mentioned it. I wanted to know what is the timeline for release? ---

So I may have this mixed up. This may be referring to a newer linux kernel. Please correct me if I am mistaken. ---

I believe it is referring to this… > [@Firmware 3.201, 3.203 Release Notes and Upgrade Q&A](https://forum.gl-inet.com/t/firmware-3-201-3-203-release-notes-and-upgrade-q-a/15620/32): > > Hi Guys, I put version 3.203\_beta3 [here](https://dl.gl-inet.com/firmware/snapshots/3.203_beta3/) Only a few models have been updated, with the main changes as follows: B1300,S1300, and AP1300 will support QSDK11 stably.

Here is again the summary: In the forum there are mixed information from years ago. - Most of the problems has been resolved. - Repeater, being a wifi connection, does has probability to disconnect. But we don’t see any specific reason related to this. It is related to channel, encryption, interference etc. - We were saying that in firmware 4.x we will further improve repeater management, by giving more options to optimize the connection. - There is one mention that there is a bug in ath9k but didn’t get confirmed. In this case you can use 5G wifi and it should not have problem. ---
