• Stock firmware reports d(149)+p(153)+d(157)+d(161) for 5GHz channels with 153 selected and 11(P)+7(S) for 2.4GHz with 11 selected
• Stock firmware seemingly has lower pings overall around 0.2ms, compared to OpenWRT
• Stock firmware seems to randomly drop OpenVPN connections as of 2021/01/12 even with open NAT
• Software and Hardware flow offloading on OpenWRT both consistently cause SpeedOf.Me to stop mid-test as of 2021/01/13; don't enable either of these settings
