They might have forgotten to put the lid on a batch of these due to poor quality control.
So are you interested at all in telling everyone whether it has improved on things or not?
Just opening it to find out, if it really doesn’t have it, it should be returned for exchange.

the problems I reported with the wifi speed dropping, cable speed dropping, wifi disconnection, problems with 160mhz, all of this no longer happens in this version that they made available, only the problem with wifi 2.4 that they didn’t solve and I think it must be because the MEDIATEK must resolve and issue a patch or corrected firmware. Otherwise everything is in order here for me, this should be a stable version in my opinion

yes,You are right,so the interference is from USB3.0 Stick，not from MT6000’s USB.
Interference by USB 3.0 is pretty common, unfortunately.
Not really.
If a device is USB 3.0 approved, it must be shielded.
I have many laptops (Lenovo, Dell, HP) and many USB 3.0 devices (Dock Stations, NAS) and I never noticed any similar problem before, even when they are close enough to each other.
We cannot accept this kind of problem.
I can tell you that USB 3.0 creates trouble while using. It does not only depend on the controller hardware but about the cable and storage device as well. My Computer has trouble connecting to Bluetooth when I use my Samsung USB 3.0 SSD with a short cable.
Does not mean this issue should exist, just want to show that it’s more or less common.
Can you provide a purchase link for your USB device? We can buy tests and troubleshoot problems.

This one:
It’s a USB 3.2 backwards compatible with USB 3.0 and 2.0 according to Sandisk advertisement.

In my experience, every Sandisk usb 3 stick I’ve tried gives me interference with your routers. With Kingston, I never had a problem. Anyway, it’s pretty easy to to measure the amount of the interference just observing Signal/noise values for 2.4Ghz on LUCI>Wireless.
As soon as I connect a Sandisk stick for example, noise goes from 95dBm to 80dBm.
Ah yeah, a Sandisk device, no surprise They are really poorly shielded in my experience.
Agree 4.5.5 sucks. The WIFI performance on the new drivers is not good. Much lag on wireless connections. 4.5.4 wireless performance is better.

Incorrect answer…
The USB Port is not well shielded.
Another user found the same problem and fix it adding a copper foil around the USB Port on Beryl AX:

I tested a Sandisk stick like yours on Flint 2 and the problem is the stick, not the router.
I tried to completely cover the stick with a thin aluminum foil and I connected it to the router and guess what? No interference.
The same Sandisk stick is giving me problems in my PC as well with a Wifi dongle if I connect to 2.4Ghz…
yes the 2.4ghz problem is annoying, and look to your latency on upload, is huge!! At leat your latency on download is better than mine
but it is covered, it is sealed like in the photo I posted, it is not that changer that the user made with copper tapes…
Seriously, did you compare that user service with the seal in the photo?
Shielding something doesn’t mean you need a physical cover all around it.
A shield with some gaps or small holes can still works as a shield.
Please, refer to the Faraday cage… It’s a similar aproach.
A whole cover all around the device can make the things even worst than a proper shielding.
Please refer to the Intel’s White Paper, page 14, from 2012 called “USB 3.0 Radio Frequency Interference Impact on 2.4 GHz Wireless Devices”

Have you try extend cable USB? Could be small solution?
I have my usb cable to 4g dongle. But I don’t know how to check that 2.4ghz does effect or not?
