OK, is quite a list of changes this 4.7.2 version.
Interesting to see, the V4 doc is already an indication. It's an extensive set of information.
Overnight the signal strengt improved (???) up to -77dBm now.
Connection is stable, with no special setting. So no use of (BSSID lock, only one known SSID, MultiWAN checks disabled)
Steady connection for 7 hours.
No connection problem with traffic load.
Transfer rate not optimal, and still these warnings in the LOG ... when doing the speed test with MT Btest tool.
But this is a usable wifi repeater/router connection ( when Btest is not running on PC)
The SFT1200 seems to follow the signal strentgh of the uplink, defining the power to send out its downlink on the same radio. More combination tests (eg 2GHz up, 5 GHz down) to be done.
Conclusion so far. Major improvement !!!
Some things to find out, like what's this,

Reinstalled, without saving current settings.
Modified country to BE (=ETSI/europe), needs DFS channels
But the log says ...
Fri Jan 3 23:45:38 2025 daemon.notice hostapd: acs_noradar = 1 means that the radar channels will be avoided under acs
Fri Jan 3 23:45:38 2025 daemon.notice hostapd: acs_noradar = 1 means that the radar channels will be avoided under acs

Fri Jan 3 23:45:38 2025 daemon.notice hostapd: acs_noradar = 1 means that the radar channels will be avoided under acs
Refuses to see the DFS channels on the uplink AP's.
LUCI sees them all in the scan. But that is not the proper way to use them.
And the SFT1200 has a very weak 5GHz own client signal. Too weak to be usable.
Setting country in LUCI seems not being accepted ..
