    You should review this and maybe revert back to this recommended version of FW:

    I've looked here again after a while and I can't belive the problem is still not solved....

    Since I've flashed Tomato a few weeks ago I've forgotten that I have a router- it's working perfectly getting dust because i do not touch it at all :-)...

     

    Parental control works perfectly, 0 drops, strong signal - save your time and do a similar thing!

Took the plunge and applied the hot fix.  No reset/reboot after.  left configuration as is.  Fingers crossed. as 2.4Ghz band back up.

Ok.  So on 9.20 for two hours.  Checked my devices connected to my computer and lo and behold the HP printer was listed as offline.  This printer has been my "canary in the coal mine" .  When it goes wonky eventually the 2.4 Ghz band fails across.  Did a reboot of the printer.  No luck still showed as offline.  Checked its apps and was able to print a diagnostic page but still showed as offline even.  Ran the HP diagnostic and that seemed to reconnect it.  Checked the Nest Thermostat as that is the last 2.4 Ghz device that goes and it is still connected.
