Kernel: Linux 4.4.302-rt232-st63 #13711 SMP Wed May 14 05:10:13 +07 2025 armv7l
Previous: original r61298 build
Mode: Internet gateway, WIFI 5GHz AP, smartdns with Doh, iptables firewall, SshD, MSTP (tests)
Status: Working
Issues: Device have long starting. I must wait for GUI available, MAC's on interfaces are other than configured in GUI, MSTP don't speed up connections, new infos in GUI about port status are "error -1". Urgent problems are boot speed and GUI responding
Uptime: 19 h

Every version after May 7 is clearly worse and less stable on this device.
