Firmware Version: DD-WRT v3.0-r62890M Community Build (12/01/25)
Kernel Version: Linux 4.4.302-rt232-st68 #1 SMP Mon Dec 1 14:12:46 CET 2025 armv7l

Upgraded from Firmware by egc: DD-WRT v3.0-r62778M Community Build (11/21/25) using patched build so GUI update is working without a problem for this Xvortex CFE upgrade 😃

Reset: No not this time.

Configuration: Default gateway mode, 2,4GHz wireless running with unbridged VAP, 5GHz running, some static leases and some port range forwarding.
Four WireGuard tunnels running, one Server, one site-to-site and two clients in Fail-over group to Mullvad (of course with PBR to allow the WG server to use the WAN), using MAC address and IPv4 and IPv6 IPSET.
OpenVPN client with PBR running.
DDNS (dynv6) working.
IPv6 working.
NVRAM size 46KB (NVRAM size should not be a problem with the Xvortex CFE)

Status: Up and stable for 2 hours

Errors: none so far

Thanks BS!!

As always, the Quantenna chip has its own quirks. This is a closed source chipset
There is no way to install a channel.
But you can disable 5.0 GHz. @mpgalaxy hack "If you set the radio mode to station bridge and disable the network mode, the 5GHz device will turn off completely even after reboot."

If your router's light turns red, don't worry. Internet connection is ok.

Thank you BS and gurus!
