100%! I would do that too
@OpenWRT-fanboy The issue was caused by when the level-triggered irqbalance moves the IRQ to another CPU, during migration, an interrupt fires, handler runs but MDIO access fails (race condition). The realtek driver return IRQ_NONE, but line is still low IRQ immediately fires again → fails again → repeat. This will create storm.
I have proposed a patch that fix this issue and tested works fine for me.

and modify some specs including making it essentially unbrickable just like openwrt one.

May I ask which report? (FCC ID MXF-W1700K)
Or, more specifically, are both power adaptors rated the same (i.e. 60W)?
Cause I’m about to get a 220V adaptor, and comparing different options.
Cheers.
there are only six PDFs described as "photos", three out of those six are about "tests", did you try the remaining three ?

If you are from Europe (by 220-240V), I personally bought the „GM-1250“ for „MikroTik“ for 16€, saw on a Czech website for 13€ (but shipping and etc.).

yes both are rated at 60W.
And both works on 220v mains. But was indicated for 110v

Thanks!
Just wondering, does the unit really need so much power? Cause I have two spare 12V adaptors rated at 18W, which I just finished using one to flash OpenWrt onto it.
Cheers.
If they were fine with 18W, they would have shipped with 18W power adapters ?
What's got the highest priority, save $10 on power adapter(s) or have the your place burn down ?

I don't think you could burn your house with a power adapter with low wattage.
But what could happen is when the router draw too much power, the voltage fall too low below 12V, and the router will crash/reboot.

Depends on the quality of the power adapter.
We're getting off topic, let's drop it.

Attempting to test this, but cannot seem to figure out how to resolve patch conflicts in openwrt, used to raw source or debian packages.

just needed to post to resolve the issue.
Appears the patch used spaces instead of tabs, build resuming.
Just updated lumos. You should able to build cleanly off of that or download the pre-built.

curious why you are not using the included power adaptor?
Edit:
after some digging decided to err on the side of caution and use the spare liteon 12V 5A adaptors i have sitting around. while both adaptors work on 220v, they might have issues with unstable mains/spikes.

One user said that the included white adapter has a capacitor below the voltage required to operate at 220~240 volts.

The eBay seller sold without an adaptor, and I remember someone saying that something inside wasn’t really rated for ~220V mains, like the above poster mentioned.
Anyhow, getting a 60W unit doesn’t really cost much, I’ll probably do it after this stabilizes enough to become the main router. But since I have two 18W sitting around and I wondered if I could contribute a tiny bit to reducing unnecessary electronic waste. Besides 60W for a router sounds quite a lot, it’s the same wattage my laptop asks for...
Anyway, let’s focus on making OpenWrt works on this baby better.
Thanks!

I don't understand why a 60W charger is required. This is with its original charger (US charger). I am using it as an AP, 10G port is used as the WAN/main port.

Mine uses 46w during boot, and settles at 12watts when idle, and during normal AP usage runs at 36w with all 4 lan ports in use, and only the 6g radio active.

@OpenWRT-fanboy Can you explaing what exactly is the new “minimal build” 32606 in your github? Thanks!!
