I promise, I have test the same settings

R7800 works 5min.... WIFI DROPS... R7800 REBOOT... in loop.... each 5 min 😕😕😕😕
Back to v1.0.2.68...
The only difference for me is that when I do the firmware updates, I apply them from an Ethernet-connected PC. I then reset. I don't let the R7800 download and update itself.
