Five days later and the new ASUS DSL-AX82U – 3004.388.9_2-gnuton1 is running smoothly, I have noticed a couple of minor UI issues, but stability remains consistent.

• General > Game > where you reserve a device with a mac address there is second option which is obfuscated by the MAC address box.
• Also noticed an issue with CAKE QOS as it seems to turn itself off after a reboot or after a few days, cannot decide which at the moment.

@GNUton released 3004.388.9_2-gnuton2 last month and I have been running this latest release on my DSL-AX82U for the last couple of weeks and thus far the CAKE QoS issue seems resolved.
