As the previous post about version 1.7.0 was too long to navigate for information on the newly released 1.8.x versions, I have created this new post. Kindly share your feedback on how the new 1.8.x work. Your input will greatly benefit other users.
Thank you very much.

@David-TP
After updating my 3x Deco M4R's to 1.8.2 Build 20251027 Rel. 36869, I have lost the ability to connect to my Home Assistant over VPN
I had set up a Wireguard server on my Home Assistant device and with port forwarding I was able to use the VPN connection from my phone away from home. After updating the firmware, this connection no longer works.
I have tried to set the forwarding rule again and checked that client IP's werent changed during this update, but for some unknown reason the connection isn't valid anymore.
I have also noticed random connection issues during gaming, with 1-5 second periods of lag that happen irregularely.
Any help with these issues would be greatly appreciated and hopefully resolved in further firmware upgrades.

@Alojz_K great! I also downgraded to version 1.6.5 and it solved all the problems!
From now on, I'm simply going to ignore any kind of software update for the M4.

Hi, have you checked whether the local device can still connect to the HA WireGuard VPN server?
As for the online gaming, did you set Deco M4 into Access Point mode or Wireless router mode?
How are the satellite M4s connected to the Mesh Network, via WiFi Backhaul or Ethernet Backhaul?
Wait for your reply.
Best regards.
