Edit tested by upgrading without keeping the settings:
the web UI keeps timing out after setting the password, also luci seems not to be accessible once the UI becomes unresponsive, the led lighting is flashing strangely.
it seems the demsg logs show something about failing to load or mount something about the wifi driver:

For me the new kernel makes everything feel sluggish. The UI is slower to load for me, and general connections felt slower to load with clean firmware installs with the exact same light config (static routes, vpn, adguard etc) nothing that would break the networking.
My laptop also falls back to Wifi 4 (N) when using the new kernel and 2.4ghz, it will not find the 5ghz wifi at all.
tried upgrade with keep settings failed. (I always test this now and still wipe firmware
opkg update from shell yields

from gli-gui asks to upgrade to 4.0.0
AdGuard ‘settings’ connects over http but not https over port 3000 ( believe something has changed in Version: v0.107.8 that causes this.)
After upgrading my phone won’t connect to 5Ghz Wifi: It says that the AP at the moment is full.
On log I have this repeated tens of times:
Sun Jul 31 07:55:21 2022 kern.warn kernel: [52974.839786] ath11k c000000.wifi: Failed to add peer: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx for VDEV: 1

And also on Kernel log:

My PC and other devices meanwhile are connecting to 5Ghz without problems…
Was fine for few hours but device has been going unresponsive a few times and unable to access the web admin panel, I’ve been connected via ethernet cable using it in repeater mode, after removing power and powering it back on, it has factory reset itself, unable to get the logs, this is on 4.0.1 release3.
Gone back to 4.0.1 release2.
Further to the issue, there is a problem with adguardhome, maybe the filters list is too much for it to handle, I’m not 100% sure but after enabling the filters it went unresponsive, rebooted, however it didn’t factory reset this time.
Mine seems to be working ok for the last 24h. Will update if any issue.
With adguard + openvpn.
However fan is not enabled, while 4.0.1 release2 I think had fan enabled.
when will there be an update on the 5.4 firmware? it’s been almost a year since its last release. any reasons why it is delayed? i care specifically for AXT1800
We don’t have a timeline to upgrade to 5.4 kernel. Tested and found there are still some issues. We are waiting for update from this project GitHub - Telecominfraproject/wlan-ap
That link is to my personal webserver, which is on a dynamic IP using a ddns service, hosted on my personal home lab server so it will go down from time to time for updates, up changes etc it’s also for kernel 5.15 and not 5.4.
Important note to people whom are flashing this firmware, please use the images from the snapshots folder and not experimental folder as the latter is for testing and can lead to soft bricks.
I will update the Webpage with better instructions of the weekend.
