Research direction

Begin by reproducing the failure on the Acer Predator W6 with MT7986, 5GHz WLAN, and “Disassociate On Low Acknowledgement” enabled, while recording what happens when a wireless device disconnects. The issue provides no file or test entry point; done means the router no longer restarts when the device leaves range or shuts down.
