I read whole topic and still dont know if I should update to 4.8.4 or 4.9 when available. Atm my settings in luci are: DE region, ax auto 80MHz (40 for 2.4GHz), 20dBm(100mW). I am satisfied with that.
Take a backup in LuCI, then it’s easy enough to re-flash 4.8.3 (even through uboot) and restore if you want to.
… but with DE region, going to 4.8.4 (or, we assume beyond) you will lose some Wi-Fi power/range/speed.

Running 4.8.4 on AX210 and Linux kernel 7.0.11 give me this:
”iwlwifi: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x0”
Happens on 5GHz, not on 2.4GHz. Throws a error and no network.
Downgrading to 4.8.3 back to normal and full speed.
Confirming lower range coverage and speeds on firmware 4.8.4 with 2.4 Ghz, not only 5 Ghz. What is the recommended best setting in this configuration? For which countries does that apply? Is there a workaround?
Revert back to to 4.8.3 or setup a wired AP to extend the signal?
