but with Linux one never knows

I don't blame Linux. It was bad luck probably.

I flashed about 20 times different images and different devices. The biggest challenge was the soft brick with a Zyxel NBG6817, which is very similar to the R7800, but not with debricking! 1st flash with the Zyxel was without problems, then I added packages for mesh and the device was bricked.

Zyxel NBG6817 not pingable after flashing

I would like to flash another configured image. Already flashed: OpenWrt 23.05.2, r23630-842932a63d Checking before flashing: root@NBG6817:~# md5sum /tmp/openwrt-my-23.05.2-710c28fb1cee-ipq806x-generic-zyxe l_nbg6817-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin 273bb5b05af1e5a126419012237af49e /tmp/openwrt-my-23.05.2-710c28fb1cee-ipq806x-generic-zyxel_nbg6817-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin Checksum was the same as downloaded: root@NBG6817:~# sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-my-23.05.2-710c28fb1cee-ipq806x-gener ic-zyxel_…

those are not present in the R7800

What I have learned, that it got a lot better with beamforming from Openwrt 22 to 23 with Wifi 6(!) devices. Maybe the R7800 with Wifi 5 needs the next Openwrt 24? See what changed here from 22 to 23:

ASUS RT-AX53U: Beamforming configuration

Interesting thing. I was on 22.03.6 because of mentioned WAN-problems, but for the moment I do not need WAN. So I tried 23.05.2 root@AX53U-S1:~# ubus call system board { "kernel": "5.15.137", "hostname": "AX53U-S1", "system": "MediaTek MT7621 ver:1 eco:3", "model": "ASUS RT-AX53U", "board_name": "asus,rt-ax53u", "rootfs_type": "squashfs", "release": { "distribution": "OpenWrt", "version": "23.05.2", "revision": "r23630-842932a63d", "target": "ramips/mt7621", "description": "Ope…

For the record this is my /etc/config/wireless file in the Asus:

Thanks, I would be interested in the changes from WDS to Mesh. Your WDS looks similar to mine.
