To add to this, for people who want to browse the things this can install: https://fantastic-packages.github.io/packages/releases/
Tbh you're totally right.
This build is absolutely great and should come with the very basic packages required to work properly.
Anything extra can be installed by the users.

Dear...
if you have issue on MT6000 with 2.4ghz and usb 3.0 device can you please try this command:
echo 1 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb2/2-0:1.0/usb2-port1/disable
should force use usb as 2.0...
to revert to usb 3.0
echo 0 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb2/2-0:1.0/usb2-port1/disable
If it is ok I'll try to add this setting on Luci.
Thanks

VLAN functionality is working fine. Do you have more specific questions that need answering?

Thanks for this answer, do you tested the vlan only with pesa build or with standard openwrt build too? Need the vlan special config or function plain over luci?
Thanks
VLAN works fine with any firmware that exists for this device. I haven’t tested all possible versions, but there’s not a single report from anybody about VLAN problems.

@pesa1234 or anyone else getting a hostapd syslog spam on new builds? I've been getting it for a few days looks like it's this bug 16680.
A few years back, we captured wireless packages and compared stock vs OpenWRT enabled wireless options.
It was interesting to see quite a few differences that were maybe the cause for worse OpenWRT wireless performance when compared to stock, more noticeable over distance or though obstacles.
If anyone's interested in testing and sharing their findings:
How to put wireless card into monitor mode link
After putting the card to monitor mode, and selected the channel, in Wireshark you can select "Monitor" checkbox and start the capture.
No. I didn't see from my side.
5g or 2.4g? Restarting wifi solve the issue?

Someone commented it may be resolved on a newer build I'll have to try.
Btw I like the new hardware/software flow offloading dropdown PR they added to luci, makes more sense since it's functionally one or the other not both.

Yea I would have worded it "Flow Offloading" next to the menu drop down, more commonly used description, rather than "Offloading type". Oh well I'm not a main dev, but it's a nice improvement since it's one or the other not both

It's really hard to compare something from 3 years ago - a lot has changed...
When I look at the current beacons for OWRT for MT6000 from Master, they look pretty good overall - 2.4GHz is tight and proper (e.g. no VHT, but HT and HE modes present, along with ERP (11g)
The upper band is good as well - HT and VHT all look good - it is a MU beamformer, so MU is enabled for 11ac - and the 11ax (HE) looks good as well...
@nbd and team have done a pretty good job on the MT76 config out of the box...

BTW - what's in the beacon isn't that important - what is important is the association request/response handshake, as that defines what is used for that client STA connection...
