===== Notes =====

  * 2021/07/02: :!: When using Oculus Air Link and a speed test at 60Mbps download, CPU 0 is around 75% load and the other 3 are 1-5%. Packet Steering is disabled by-default and doesn't seem to do anything when enabled. irqbalance spreads the load quite nicely and drops CPU 0 in the same situation to around 20%. Presumably, if ISP speeds increase beyond 60Mbps, irqbalance will be required.
  * 2021/08: For 5GHz, the wireless channels chosen needs to do 30 dBm on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. For 5GHz, 149 works fine.

  rm -f '/tmp/sysupgrade.img' && sync && sysupgrade --force -n -v 'https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/ipq40xx/generic/openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-linksys_ea6350v3-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin'

  rm -Rf ~/'.ssh' && ping '192.168.1.1'

====== Packages ======

  * [[https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/luci/luci.essentials|LuCI]] ((snapshot images don't include LuCI, so it needs installed on **every** clean snapshot install))

==== Download Stock Firmware ====

  * https://www.linksys.com/support-article?articleNum=148481

  wget 'https://downloads.linksys.com/downloads/firmware/FW_EA6350v3_3.1.10.191322_prod.img'

==== Check Current Firmware Partition ====

  * 11 = ''kernel''
  * 13 = ''alt_kernel''
  * :!: Flash operations should be done on the kernel **not** mentioned in the following command ((so if ''13'' for ''alt_kernel'' is reported, ''mtd'' commands should be applied to ''kernel''))

  cat '/sys/devices/virtual/ubi/ubi0/mtd_num'

==== Erase Non-current Firmware Partition ====

  mtd erase 'kernel'

  mtd erase 'alt_kernel'

==== Flash Stock Firmware ====

  mtd write 'FW_EA6350v3_3.1.10.191322_prod.img' 'kernel'

  mtd write 'FW_EA6350v3_3.1.10.191322_prod.img' 'alt_kernel'

==== Boot Stock Firmware ====
