Please note that if you want a stable release to follow, a little more patience is required. Snapshots are not and have never been intended for production environments. Subscribe to the PR that will eventually add the w1700k to the OpenWrt 25.12 stable release and check back when that happens. Fortunately, things are moving along, especially over the past few days.
