Mango V2

I think purely looking to vanilla OpenWrt 128M still is okay.

But it is expected to use it as a normal router, theres still room that you can still fiddle with packages but not those with lots of adblocks.

It will however be interesting what wifi chip it uses the wireless blob will get loaded in memory, I hope they avoid wifi 7 all together because these blobs actually should require more ram, more the 1gb ram in my eyes, Beryl 7 had 70% usage on 512M.

Older chipsets have much more size reduced on those blobs.

What I'm also interested in is if amneziawg is a bigger counter part or if it can still hold a good footprint with memory size.

You are probably right. There were only six devices in our party connecting, and not all of them were streaming over wireguard at the same time. We were getting around 60mbps to the UK and 15mbps over the tunnel, over the 100mbps connections in the area. Cell service of course was spotty. But I had to carry the router and the GaN brick and I appreciated every ounce I didn’t have to lug.
