OpenWrt 21.02.2 Second service release

That is fantastic. My WRT3200ACM is at 49 days uptime on final 21.02.2 release right now.

The 5GHz radio used to crash every few days but that has not happened since getting rid of irqbalance.

Cheers!

Seems to be stable for browsing, HD video streaming etc. But something weird is happening for VOIP calls on a phone, the app says unstable network. If I switch to cellular network, the call works fine. I am still trying to figure out if it is the phone, router or ISP. When that message appears, there is no significant traffic going on the home network. This does not happen all the time either. I have sufficient bandwidth (upload and download) to handle multiple streams.

Just wondering will there be an official documentation on how to install OpenWrt firmware and recover back to stock OEM firmware for:

TP-Link TL-WA1201 v2?

I noticed this AP is supported under release 21.02.1

Thank you.

Inside two months perhaps doesn't merit a finally.

Did you just accusing OpenWrt developer team with incompetence and deadlines failure?

God, it's a free software take a patient pills..

I think you did with your "finally" remark.

You might take your own advice on the "patient" (it's actually "patience") pills.

I'm in no hurry to upgrade.

I interpret their "finally" as in "finally! I've been waiting for this!", with an excited tone to it. I obviously could be interpreting it wrong, but it doesn't sound like they intended it as some sort of a negative remark.

I'm sharing happyness and don't blame them for breaking and deadlines, I have a daily snapshot atm anyway
p.s. imagine someone speaking "american english" instead of "european english" in european software forum lol
