Random trivia which may be helpful to no one but me:

* Low-device (and almost all WiFi) network environment. 32768 connections max: actual use rarely reaches 1000 connections.
* Auto TX on 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands. 20MHz bandwidth on each in a crowded apartment deployment.
* QoS: Cake takes the cake (!) and works the best (HTSC / HTB seem identical), using only SQM (no priorities)
* TCP Congestion: Veno or Westwood (ie, WiFi), for what they're worth
* Shortcut Forwarding Engine: SFE tested best (tested without QoS). CTF wasn't as efficient. Again: WiFi environment. Speed is under 100mbit, so flow acceleration (FA) is useless, but it is available as an option on this router. Speeds are great, but latency was too high: hence, SQM QoS with Cake for daily use.
* DHCP ok
* Implicit beamforming is on and it appears to work as intended.
* No VPN
* Ipv6 and ipv4 are working and enabled


Eternal thanks to Brainslayer and everyone!
