Thank you for confirming. I did use the bottom sticker and stock firmware version to confirm my Woot refurbs were V1's before flashing.
on the mx4200 v1, the default OEM bootlog shows
[ 0.000000] Memory: 424012K/436224K available (5156K kernel code, 307K rwdata, 1736K rodata, 264K init, 329K bss, 12212K reserved
~12MiB
on openwrt, the bootlog shows
[ 0.000000] Memory: 373956K/524288K available (7488K kernel code, 844K rwdata, 2056K rodata, 1216K init, 273K bss, 150332K reserved
~150MiB
what is the reason for such a difference between the OEM reserved RAM amount vs openwrt's reserved RAM amount? Is it possible to lower the reserved amount in somehow? I saw it is different from the mx4300 as well (182 MiB reserved)
that might go a long way to not go OOM on the v1
Could you confirm the first 4 digits of that v2 serial number? I'm pretty sure now that is the only way to know (from a sealed box ofc). The 4th digit should be a 2 and the v1 should all be 1.
Been digging through documentations to see if this is documented anywhere but do we have a way currently to expand the limited storage available on MX4300? (From the original PR adding support, there's app2 and app2_data with ~500 MB of unused space)

It's buried in a past post, btw I never tested it : OpenWrt support for Linksys MX4200 - #2142 by qosmio
also need to enable this: in target/linux/generic/config-6.6 make sure you have:
CONFIG_MTD_VIRT_CONCAT=y

Wow, 2 speed tests, separated by a minute, yields the best results on MX4300 so far and am on r29268. Impressive, to say the least, and thank you @arix for keeping up with the builds.

is that with nss enabled? if so, have you tried it without and what results did you get?
Foss build, quite close to the AP( like 50/60cm) test in a phone oneplus7t just WiFi 5Ghz:
Same test using ethernet on a laptop :

Yes, NSS is enabled. No, I don't want to bother with this setup as the tests that I posted above are from a desktop that is wired to a WIRELESS NODE and is positioned about 40 feet away from the main router. I maxed out the link speed and can't do any better than this, imho!
Super duper happy, to say the least, as I never expected a wireless MESH will achieve the full throughput as if I am hard wired to the main router. Thanks to Linksys for the $15 fire sale (only snagged 5... lol) and OpenWRT community to make it much better than the stock firmware!

Did you or anybody actually run speedtest on stock mesh? Curious to know the results if so.

This morning I upgraded my Linksys HomeWRK to the OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r29425-241343a2f2. Unfortunately when try to add zabbix-agentd it gives the below error, do I just need to wait for a snapshot that has the correct dependencies? Previous snapshots worked. Thanks in advance!

Can someone verify that the MAC addresses for the wired interfaces are correct for the MX4200v2 and MX4300 using these images?
Just boot the initramfs image from USB if you don't want to install.
The images contain all the necessary packages if someone would like to run OpenSSL and Wireguard benchmarks:
I just installed the latest @arix build and it no longer has the NSS SQM script. I'm pretty sure my first install had it in there after installing the SQM scripts and luci SQM.
edit update: built from qosimo repo (@ 4eed9d25272d) directly and it has NSS SQM included by default.
For my build, I believe sqm is included you do need to apk add luci-app-sqm though.

No, Your missing Qosimo's SQM algorithm script "nss-zk.qos" which makes SQM run with zero CPU usage:
@RainGater @arix I am running Qosmio's NSS from November last year - had used uci_defaults to configure APs and done the build using codespace.
With the arix build r28897 that you referred, would you use the binaries directly or do your own build? I couldn't find a way to build - as codespace is disabled.
If the suggestion is to use the binaries directly, How do I execute uci_defaults to set up my APs...
Will appreciate your guidance...
It was there in an old build 2 weeks ago, no idea why it's missing now. I can see it set to m instead y even I explicitly set to y, thus missing in the binary. Maybe some modules trigger it to m...need some debugging.
Is there a reason your not just using Qosimo's seed config. It seems to have everything i need in it (luci-sqm nss SQM scripts etc by default) I just setup a build to build off his repo when i sync my fork..
