The OLED is connected to a MCU. The MCU firmware and its controller app in OpenWrt are opensource. So if you want to customize the OLED it is possible.

Compared to GL.iNet AR750S Slate and MV1000 Brume.

The OLED displays: Time, carrier, battery status, repeater info, clients, message, VPN, Tor, Wi-Fi info. It has several pages to display more.

When, do you think, is IPv6 fixed?
With that router I can't reach my home net. I tried different SIMs of ISP with IPv6 support (dualstack, as well IPv6 only) nothing worked.
