In case anyone is interested: I have a rather fully-featured custom firmware build for the WRX36 that I just made publically available.
If you are interested, see this OpenWrt forum post for more info and to get the download link.
I have downgraded from SNAPSHOT to 23.05.2 by performing a reset from within luci then flashing the sysupgrade firmware. After this I restore my backed up configs which I thought is okay, but there is a problem: When installing docker-ce, if fails and says I have kernel inconsistency.
The Docker CE Engine.
The installed version of package kernel is not compatible, require 5.15.137-1-c0be4d80… while 6.1.61-1-93019a09… is installed.
I have also uploaded the 23.05.2 image to /tmp using SCP and then ran
sysupgrade -v /tmp/image-name
But no joy.
luci shows I have kernel 5.15.137.
How do I get rid of the incompatibility message? Where is the wrong kernel information coming from?
TIA
Guys question question... does anyone know the default settings of the 2.5g port?
what are the condition for the yellow led to be turned on? 1g connection? 100mbps?
also what are the condition for green led to be turned on?
Please I need these info from the stock firmware as we currently set wrong values with the openwrt firmware.

Replying to myself: I found where the issue was.
I have been using EXTROOT and I was remounting it after a firmware update without formatting it. So old kernel files residing there did not get wiped out. Stupid me!
It never bothered me, but with 23.05.2 on the DL-WRX36 2.5G port both amber and green LED's are solid on by default even with no cable connected.
This may be a tough crowd to find someone that has not yet obliterated their OEM firmware flashing OpenWrt to confirm OEM behavior by test 
Ad copy and labels for various 2.5G switches with only one each of green and amber LEDs like the DL-WRX36 indicate: a) LEDs off for no link, b) amber is solid for 100/1000 link and blinking for activity on same, and c) green is solid for 2.5G link and blinking for activity on same. Absent confirmation from someone with OEM firmware, that would at least be a step in the right direction.
I set it to 2.5 on with link 2500
Amber 1g/100 and tx/rx
Did you intend the amber and green to be solid on with no cable connected to the 2.5G port?
??? No I mean that I'm fixing it to this new mode since I added full control of them

Back in Jul. '22 kirdes and robimarko talked about the subject.
See:
Thanks for fixing the LEDs! 
I don't have the device... there may be a problem with the led that doesn't need to be set to active high... but if that's the case then there is some confusion in what is actually applied
I do have, so I could revert it to OEM, but I have no 2.5G device. 
do you have the original firmware? the settings are applied at runtime
if you have a dump it would be ideal if you can share the original firmware
Nah, the device got OpenWrt'd at it's first boot!
See rmandrad's link to MEGA, from earlier!

I'm sure the fw links are extremely useful to @Ansuel.
the firmware is still confusing... they set only one of the led... leaving the other off... they for real leaved one led off and never configured??? whatever... I can't accept to carry a broken configuration like this. Think I won't follow what OEM did

Hoping to get some more help. I am having a hard time getting this up for testing and I think its my lack of expertise wtih VLAN's and or how OpenWRT works.
I have my DL-WRX36 set now as a dumb ap....thanks to the help from this forum. Now I am trying to get a little more advanced and set the AP up to have 3 sids. One on the standard network (192.168.1.x), one for DMZ (VLAN 10 192.168.10.x) and one for USER network(VLAN 20 192.168.20.X). Eventually I plan to create more, but at this point I just want to learn how to do this.
My Router is a Opensense router. LAN interface is set as 192.168.1.1 Port 2 (opt1). DMZ interface is set as 192.168.10.1 and USER is set as 192.168.20.1 these are on port 3 (opt1) with a VLAN tag of 10 and 20.
Port 2 from my router is connected to Port 1 on my switch. Port 3 from my router is connected to port 2 on my switch. I tagged port 2 on my switch with VLAN 10 and 20.
Port 3 on my switch is connected to the wan port on my DL-WRX36. I tagged port 3 on my switch with VLAN 10 and 20
I have tried a bunch of different configurations and have not been able to accomplish what I need. So rather than guess which one is closest here is my network config set as a dump ap:
config device
option name 'br-lan'
option type 'bridge'
list ports 'lan1'
list ports 'lan2'
list ports 'lan3'
list ports 'lan4'
list ports 'wan'
config interface 'lan'
option device 'br-lan'
option proto 'static'
option ipaddr '192.168.1.2'
option netmask '255.255.255.0'
option gateway '192.168.1.1'
list dns '192.168.1.1'
Any help would be appreciated.
Well I guess I wasn't going crazy. I spent many hours troubleshooting. I triple checked my router and switches and could not figure this out. I finally set everything up on openwrt the way I thought it would work. Saved and tried. Not working. I got frustrated and rebooted openwrt. Suddenly it appears to be working. So lesson learned here is to reboot 
there is only one led showing in the front externally ...
