Your 2.4GHz performance is normal. In Singapore 2.4GHz is really conjested in most cases so you can not expect high 2.4GHz performance. It is not the fault of the OpenWRT wireless driver.

After the upgrade to 22.03, the EA7500v2 has similar performances as 21.02.

If you want to use adblock on the router, the adblock package is simple to use.
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/ad-blocking
Testing: 80% by just adding Energized List Basic Selection and StevenBlack List Standard Selection. This will not tax the lower end CPU like the MT7621 dual core 880MHz MIPS CPU used in EA7500 v2 and EA8100 v1.
https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html
More avdanced users can try Adguard Home or using an external Pi-hole installation. If you are using an mini PC or maybe some powerful router, then you can also explore Docker (where you can install Pi-hole and many other things).

OpenWRT 22.03 release note
https://openwrt.org/releases/22.03/notes-22.03.0> Firewall4 is used by default, superseding the iptables-based firewall3 implementation in the OpenWrt default images. Firewall4 uses nftables instead of iptables to configure the Linux netfilter ruleset.
> OpenWrt 22.03 supports more than 15 devices capable of Wifi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) using the MediaTek MT7915 wifi chip.
https://openwrt.org/toh/views/toh_available_16128_ax-wifi

I actually tested a few times to get this conclusion.
Just want to double confirm, I reboot the router to the old 21.02 firmware (special feature of some Linksys routers, which has two boot partitions). And then indeed I got better 5GHz wireless performance.

> Step 5: setting up more advanced things like VPN and remore access
> Next step I will try to set up wireguard and OpenVPN. Not so sure if I want to try ZeroTier or TailScale or not.
SInce I have already an ZeroTier account so I just tried Zerotier.
Setup is quite simeple -- but you need to use command line.
https://www.zerotier.com/download/https://github.com/mwarning/zerotier-openwrt/wiki
Speedtest using iperf3 across two seperate home network (with different public IPv4 address): ZeroTier will make the two nodes look like inside single local internal network.
Server: openwrt Zerotier node
Client: Acer Windows 11 laptop with wireless connection to the Asus RT-AX82 router, Zerotier node
Just a comparion without going through Zerotier (port forward 5201 on the OpenWRT router).

Setting up TailScale is also quite esay, install the Tailscale package and then run `tailscale up` to get the authorization link and then authroized the OpenWRT router as one node.
Same test as the ZeroTier test.
Server: openwrt Tailscale node
Client: Acer laptop with wireless connection to the Asus RT-AX82 router, Tailscale node

Another type of test using OOkla SpeedTest, this time I am using the laptop with wired connection to the Asus router.
Without wireguard VPN.
(client -- Asus RT-AX82U -- Singtel network -- Singtel SpeedTest server)
With wireguard VPN
(client -- Asus RT-AX82U -- Singtel network -- wireguard VPN peer (OpenWRT router) -- Singtel SpeedTest server)
If using iperf3, without using Wireguard VPN, it can reach line speed (900Mbps+).
With the wireguard VPN, the speed drops but still much faster than the above OOkla SpeedTest. I am not so sure about the reason.
iperf3 Server: openwrt with wireguard
Client: Acer laptop with gigabit Ethernet connection to the Asus RT-AX82 router, as wireguard peer

Another RK3568 based router oriented development port is R68S ( 2 x 2.5Gbe, 2 x Gbe, no HDMI, no M2 NVME).
Chinese Youtube comparison of the NanoPi R5S vs R68S.
There is also a cheaper RK3568 CPU based R66S (no EMMC, only 2 x 2.5Gbe).

Have anyone try irqbalance on EA8100? i was wondering does it help in performance

From what I read, it is not useful for the weak dual core MTK CPU used in Linksys EA7500v2 and EA8100.
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/irqbalance
Irqbalance will result in performance benefits for multicore targets where there is enough CPU overhead to handle context switching. However on 2core targets, outside of benchmarking alone, there may be performance losses. This can happen if affinity selection is not done carefully (e.g. pinning ethernet to cpu0 and wireless to cpu1). This may result in increased latency or overhead such as with simultaneous users on LAN and WLAN. Irqbalance is more viable on 4core systems and up, however your mileage may vary.

Yes i saw this but maybe got time i will try it to see if it stable since i disable wireless on my main EA8100.
Thanks Xiaofan

Hmm, if you disable wireless, I think you just need to enable "Software flow offloading" and "Hardware flow offloading" to reach near gigabit wired performance.
Ref: my previous testing results using EA7500v2. EA8100 should be similar.

WAN to LAN throughput, OpenVPN, Wireguard and SQM performance test for Intel N5105 mini PC with Intel I225-V 2.5Gbe NICs. I have not seen such high OpenVPN speed. Interestingly he is kind of using the NanoPi R5S as a 2.5Gbe switch in the test setup.
EA8100 openwrt wifi speed test is too slow and unstable: 100-200mbps. When I use linksys firmware, speed test can reach 300mbps (Singtel 500mbps network).
Any solution for this?
I enabled fast roaming in openwrt, it should not affect speed test result, right?
I have enabled Software flow offloading and hardware flow offloading in openwrt.
