Issues/Errors:
Up 2.5 hours. USB 3.2 stick working properly for Entware and "jffs" partitions. Speed, wired and wifi, is very close to published, which is equal or favorable to the ISP router - tested via nPerf.com. Wireguard and OpenVPN servers both working as expected and throughput sufficient to open video files on network shares. 5GHz showing 27dBm (set to 30dBm). 2.4GHz showing 28dBm (also set to 30dBm).

Everything working okay.

Thank you Brainslayer.
