I just got a Cudy WR3000H. I flashed the OpenWrt suggested by the Wiki page.

https://openwrt.org/toh/cudy/wr3000h_1

It does seem to work with my newer WR3000H. For testing, the 2.5G WAN port is on my local Ethernet, and its LAN is on a new subnet. The WR3000N is in AP mode. I am testing with an Apple M2-based Mini. The Mini has built-in Wifi 6e. The router is about 5 feet from the Mac.

iperf3 gives a lower-than-expected result. (especially in the -R direction) Google gave some explanation for this and suggested I try irqbalance, software offloading, and running the latest firmware, and then said the open source OpenWRT is slower than factory firmware in many cases, but the WR3000H has some very common, well-supported chips inside.

For this test, I disabled ther 2.4Ghz rado so as to be 100% certain I was on 5 Ghz.
