Could someone please provide a high quality, clear photo of the uart on the pcb?
Thanks a lot!
Is the dmesg log from the stock firmware?
Yes.
https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/
flashed this (latest snapshot) on top of the test one from eisaev.
no Luci no nothing 
good thing SSH stayed the same after a full reset.
was able to flashback / OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r16538-658d46a26a
so any ideas for a quick upgrade
or to build our own
Snapshots dont come with luci. You can quickly build one with chef.libremesh.org
just add luci to the custom package list.

yeah ,,, they do but after the upgrade from eisaev initial build ... luci was gone(not loading at all(.. router was only accessible with ssh.
btw did upgrade with the web panel .. will try sysupgrade -v
thanks for the link Mario will try that one too
What you do with chef.libremesh.org is to select the router you want firmware for, then click the customize button and write luci at the end. Then click build. The image will be built and you will get a download link for the image. You will get the latest snapshot image with luci added. Normal snapshots dont come with luci, only ssh. Then use sysupgrade -n to upgrade. Your configuration will be lost with the -n option.

Hi!
Could someone please tell me what wifi FEMs this router has? Xiaomi says that this router has separate wifi power amplifiers and low noise amplifiers but they dont list the manufacturer or model.
omg he is right...
just started testing wired 1gbps
in the end I get 500-600 mbps tops
(all cat 6 cables)
without the router is 950+
@eisaev ... did anyone test the router itself with the original firmware if it can reach 1gbps on stock?
hmmmmmm ....flashing one of them to original stock and reporting.
what @Justflash brought up with the lan tests .. 500mbps tops......
there is something off with the default settings of openwrt with this router.
Respect goes out to @eisaev for getting us this far;)

Lovely! Thanks again for testing good Sir.
More than welcome...
a big thanks to @MarioK239 for mentioning the offloading option.
tested with the latest OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r17148
It works like a charm.
So software flow offloading is a must-have for 400-500mbps+
