The new port layout can brick device and a hard reset is the easy way to unbrick

I've setup ci. Perhaps it works. We'll see tomorrow.

I have the latest version installed "OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r0-1ccb074 / LuCI Master git-22.361.69865-deed682". But I am not able to install the package needed for wireguard.
It seems to be possible though (https://github.com/robimarko/openwrt/issues/91).
But, when I do
opkg update
opkg install wireguard-tools
I get:
"Unknown package 'wireguard-tools'.
Collected errors:
- pkg_hash_check_unresolved: cannot find dependency kmod-wireguard for wireguard-tools
- pkg_hash_fetch_best_installation_candidate: Packages for wireguard-tools found, but incompatible with the architectures confi gured
- opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package wireguard-tools."
What am I doing wrong? Can someone point me in the right direction?
Another problem I have: very slow speeds 20MB/s instead of 200+ MB/s. I have a multigig network and achieve these speeds. So, what could be the reason for this behavior?
To get wireguard you should build your own firmware including luci-proto-wireguard until all kmod package wil be include on config.
wired?, wireless?, you should be more explicited.
With cable, I have reached 2.3 gb download and 1.8 gb upload if I remember correctly doing iperf3 to nbg7815 with pc conected on 2.5gb (light blue) port
10Gb (dark blue) port don't work at 2.5Gb. I don't 10gb hardware to test if that port woks at 10gb.
2.5Gb port works at
I have built my own image based on @avalentin's repository and have done some testing with HE160.
Although clients can connect to that wifi network, the speed achieved is lower than that achieved with HE80.
The clients used have all been intel ax210 cards.

I have the same situation with Unifi HD, with AX200 card I get lower speed in 160Mhz band. I can confirm that this issue is not specific to this device. In general, 160Mhz is problematic. QCA9994 is a chipset that has been developed for years.

After upgrading with your latest build, 160Mhz does not working.
Changing 5ghz to 160 Mhz (from Luci interface) provides the same strange information as in my build "6.450 Ghz"
When i added manually to /etc/config/wireless
option hwmode '11a'
iwinfo returns proper 5 Ghz

And after few seconds I get signal, but it needs manual change at wireless config

I forgot to say i did the same to make wifi works
Thanks! After a some more testing I see speeds up to 175 MB/s but only upload lan to wan, the other way only 85MB/s. I'll do further testing.
I can't do anything here. It all depends on robimarkos patches.
Ok, but when you write that something works, share full information(with commands), unless you did it but you don't know how.
It will help us with stabilization that software.
Of course, here are some details:

I'll switch back to 80MHz because I want to test long term stability now.

And after one week hard tests, everything seems working without problems, wifi working stable and till now don't have any problems, hence i voting for @avalentin PR to official repo.

Thanks, I've updated the DTS!
OK, I will continue to maintain this until it can be merged.
Thank you for all your work on this!

The wifi problem afer reflash stiil present.
Yesteday i build new firmware with lastest commits and after flash keeping config there was no wifi. I reload everry radio and wifi work. I rebooted again to very wifi and it was up. The problem is present only after first boot after sysupgrade.
i had used @avalentin repository.
btw. @avalentin According to bluetooth, i would consider to adding following diff

Is it only on the first upgrade? If yes, it is perhaps it is the wifi firmware downgrade.
