thanks @KOA
No swap partition with the ext4? That is certainly necessary on ddwrt Optware which should be bascially the same thing, and if you've been having problems could be the problem!
On OpenWrt as I said, it was like walking in the morning breeze, I didn't touch anything related to swap partition, just plug and play almost.
Install the relevant USB packages and start walking
Just like anything else, I love installing packages from GUI instead of messing with cli.
Just go to System>software and install all the relevant packages.
Mount from System>mount points.
As said before, I didn't format any of the drives nor created any new partitions.

- Got you!
Whether swap/paging is useful or not depends on the load... some kernel buffers can not be paged out at all, and since most routing happens inside the kernel a relative pure router will not dip deeply into swap, heck even with ample available swap space a router with too little physical memory might still invoke the out-of-memory killer. (On my current turris omnia with adblocker and suricata and 1GB ram, no swap is needed. Yes, 1 GB is ample, but the machine is doing more than pure routing)
