 ===== Notes =====
-  * 2021/04/28: Dropping invalid packets (firewall) causes an Oculus Quest 2 to not load it's own store/home page
-  * 2021/06/14: Enabling ''Use broadcast flag'' causes WAN not to work (Comcast/Xfinity)
-  * 2021/06/29: Enabling ''802.11w Management Frame Protection'' on 2.4GHz caused a NC200 to not be able to connect
   * 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
+  * :!: Might perform worse than [[devices:network:netgear_r6260_dd-wrt|DD-WRT]] (([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg0Sjh9VMTk|this video]] 4K@60Hz has to buffer quick-enough to play ideally for HW-accel testing; OpenWRT notably doesn't buffer quick enough at times; 2025/10/25: DD-WRT at ''highspeed'' seemingly fine)) ((2025/11/01: pings 0.4ms average vs DD-WRT's lower 0.2ms))
