GL-MT3000 - problems with stability after upgrade to v4.5.16?

Hi,
After upgrade to v4.5.16 I have a problem with videoconferences. During videoconference there are 3-4 sec pauses, where I do not send or receive any data. It’s very irritating. Didn’t happen before.

On Beryl:

Both are connected to same modem using ETH cable, testing on the same device.
All connected devices (phone, pc) have the same problem.

What can I do?

It happens every ~20 minutes or so

Just a thought. Check if the gl.inet router may be trying to ping an IP address from the WAN and not getting a reply back, so then it thinks wan is down and reloads interfaces.

Multi-WAN checking on eth is disabled. Moreover as you can see in logs whole eth interface is going down.

Looks like similar problem with:

IMO looks like Beryl AX has some generic problem with physically broken ports, IMO support should be aware if they replace units but they play dumb. Waste of time.

I’m close to binning this thing. I’ve been having these same issues. My mango and Slate work fine (although slower)

We will maintain a firmware based on lastest openwrt and using open source wifi driver and hopefully works better.

Slate does work better in repeater.
