It was the same in the 384.15 alpha too. The wifi driver in anything beyond 384.14 is trash, which as you correctly point out, is closed source and therefore beyond rmerlin’s control. Judging by the comments on the official firmware thread on smallnetbuilder.com its not any better with the later gpl either so I’ll probably be stuck on 384.14 for a while.

I wouldn’t waste time resetting your router and trying it, you’ll only achieve an evening of wasted time for your efforts. I’ve already confirmed the fault is there for other users anyway, so not just my router affected.

The crippling of the 2.4ghz band so that only a single antenna transmits reduces the overall signal strength a fair bit. This is especially bad for me with the ring cameras as I rely on an external WiFi cable running from the router to an outside antenna to provide the signal. With this change I can either have a good signal inside, or one outside, but not both.
