Upgrade to 5.8 and lose 4db on every SM uplink RSSI

I just tested 5.8 on two APs and their respective SMs, and every single SM suffered a 4db drop in uplink RSSI at the AP. I tested this on two different epmp3k and same thing. Its not just false reporting either as I also see uplink retransmits increase from zero. I will be rolling back to 4.6.2 - the last stable firmware (not actually stable though).
See in my image at 3:19am the firmware was upgraded, and SM UL RSSI drops by 4db. This happened to every SM. There was a single SM that didn’t upgrade to 5.8 - this SM still suffered a loss of 4db. This proves the bug/fault is at the AP. See how modulation gets bad too. ugh

Hello @riddle !

Can I see your techsupport files?
Is your AP E3K or something else too?

Only on e3k so far. Can you ask Pralhad for the files? I sent them through yesterday.
Cheers

I tried to email you but it bounced back. How do I PM you the files?
