I "upgraded" from my old to this router and got a bit of problems I was not expecting.
The internet connection started dropping now and then and a restart would fix that, so scanned thru the articles here and otherplaces. Didnt find anything that fixed it, very generic answers and I don't have any special configurations. No internet login, nothing configured except the wifi password and external dns.
However I upgraded to firmware V1.0.11.100_10.2.100 (since that was the most recent firmware), and that seem to have fixed the internet dropping problem. Success I though!
Now recently I did have some problems with VOIP calls via mobile and app, they won't connect when using wifi, so according to helpful articles I decided to turn on QoS, that was disabled. Seems logical. And it works right now, it is an app so I have not done any long term testing, neither do I know where the problem persisited, this all could be irrelevant.
However now the internet started dropping again.
My old R6300 had none of these problems during the last what 5 years or so. Don't really know why I "upgraded".
