Just updated all my devices, the stable support to the Wifi 6E is a great thing. OpenWrt is the best firware with the best community and support for home network devices!

"2 Gbps WAN/LAN NAT Routing on ramips MT7621 devices (See OpenWrt forum)"

I own a few Mikrotik HEXs boxes: now they were just upgraded from 0,5Gbps to 2Gbps! Wow!

  OpenWrt has transitioned its default cryptographic library from wolfssl to mbedtls. This shift brings several changes and implications: 

  * Users should be aware that mbedtls 2.28 no longer supports TLS 1.3.

Am I reading this correctly? They switched to a different tls library that doesn't support TLS 1.3?

The openwrt website is still incredible slow to load.

By default, yes. But if you read the next paragraph:

"While mbedtls is now the default, users who have specific needs or preferences can still manually switch back to wolfssl or choose openssl."

Not really true. From 500/500 to 1000/1000.

It's work in progress: https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/blob/development/docs/ar...

Newer version have okay-ish support, I'd guess the next OpenWRT release will have it again.

I did read the next paragraph - I just didn't quote it because it wasn't relevant to my question. :-D
