Then every upgrade flash becomes an ass-clenching experience. I’ve been down this path.

It’s a lifestyle choice… until you’re up at 3 AM rebuilding everything because you bricked your AP by flashing openwrt-24.10.0-ath79-generic-tplink_archer-c7-v2-squashfs-factory-FOR-C7-V5-EU-NOT-V2-US.bin and not openwrt-24.10.0-ath79-generic-tplink_archer-c7-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin.

There is a one click update in the WebUI now, no need to flash random bins

I mean, these days you can just let Claude do it if you don't care for such minutiae... I was skeptical, but it got it done perfectly.

It also discovered my fast roaming settings were incompletely setup and that I was using a 5GHz channel that needed 60s to turn on due to regulations (DFS channels).
