Archer C6 V2 Firmware 1.3.0 EU - WiFi drops every few minutes after firmware upgrade

Hi,
I've updated my Archer C6 (v2.0) UK router to the latest firmware (1.3.0 Build EU 20200402 rel.52000). I'm fairly sure the old version was 1.2.1. After upgrading I've noticed all wireless (5Ghz & 2.4Ghz) clients randomly and continuously get dropped from the WiFi (I can see this happening on the devices and in the router's System Logs as DHCP requests). The drop affects one or more devices, every 1 or 2 minutes.
After discovering the problem I tried changing most settings to match those on https://emulator.tp-link.com/c6-eu-v2/index.html just to make sure it's not my configuration.
Is anyone else finding this issue with their C6 router using the new firmware?
The firmware release notes also say it's not downgradable, is this true?

@Mrjlaunch Unfortunately selling this crap and getting rid of it and buying from another router from another brand will do the job. Too many nerves lost for my money and its easy for the fellas that workers in TP cause after all they'll get paid for their time they spend here (even tho I believe they don't use in their homes these routers :D ) Im really disappointed after all and that's all from me with it.

Hi
I have version1.3.6 build 20200902
Hardware Archer A6 V2.0
About once every 2 week the the 2.4ghz AP just switches off ( Not broadcasting ) and have to reset the router to get it back. The 5Ghz network remains stable.
Would these Beta fixes not have been included in the 1.3.6 release or is this still an issue caused by one mesh ( I have one range extender whcih is not connected anymore an "RE200"
Thanks

5ghz works for me. I don't know what the maximum speed is, because I only use it on my phone. Previously, I also connected the PC via Archer T4U and on 2 different routers it was the same, including the Archer C6 with the original firmware and OpenWRT. After the LAN was 400mbps, the phone takes out the full link I have 100mbps, sometimes it starts from 150, like on a cable. I've heard of a slowdown and there is supposed to be a solution to that. "Some users report much improved long-term stability with 5 GHz by using the closed-source ath10k firmware instead of the open-source ath10k-ct firmware. To do this remove the packages “kmod-ath10k-ct” and “ath10k-firmware-qca9888-ct” and instead install “kmod-ath10k” and “ath10k-firmware-qca9888”.
Soon, a stable new version is to be released, I also recommend that you install the sqm package to remove "Bufferbloat" - luci-app-sqm. Simple setup, I'm an amateur at it and I managed it
