Not the greatest week, lol.

Bought a Linksys E8450 recently and ran into a showstopping bug regarding wireless clients and communication on later OpenWrt 22.03 releases and even very recent snapshot versions. Flashed 22.03.0-rc1 and wireless communication and clients now work normally without the static ARP workaround. This took a week to troubleshoot, too.

After all that, the Intel NUC's SSD's Windows partition really became corrupted. Luckily, I mirrored the entire disk a month prior. Actually, that backup is the most recent because it hadn't been used since last month; I was testing Kubuntu 22.10 in live mode on the NUC, then eventually went back to Windows 10. Ran a Windows update, then it wouldn't boot after a restart. 😮 Now, I'm restoring just the Windows partition to see what would happen.
