Issues/Errors:
Up 3.5 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 26dBm (set to 30dBm). 2.4GHz showing 28dBm (also set to 30dBm).

Initial testing went well, but after about 5 hours, noticed a work download going very slowly. Cancelled the download and checked nperf.com from another machine. I was maxing out at 50Mbps, and that was on a wired connection. I rebooted the gateway router and speed went back to 500Mbps. Download was much faster. Speed is presently fine, so I'm calling it an anomaly.

Thank you Brainslayer.

If your router's light turns red, don't worry. Internet connection is ok.
Incorrect rate of wlan0 - 800 Mbit/s!

Thank you BS and gurus!

Hello to all,

Upgraded both of my devices to this build from r61843 (that was pulled) without reset and all i use are working fine.

Thank you very much BS and devs!

[dplotz]

I notice that the "ps" command is working differently this release. Previously just running "ps" would show all of the running processes. Now it just shows ps and sh, the processes I'm running directly. I have to explicitly use "ps ax" to see all processes. This isn't a complaint, just an observation.

Stable for over two days. No more connectivity issues like the build BS pulled (843, etc). This build has been rock solid for me.
