Flint 2: worse Wi-Fi coverage on 4.8.4 compared to 4.8.3

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?
