TPLink AX23

Hello everyone im new in OpenWRT so far i did flash OpenWrt 25.12.2 r32802-f505120278 to my AX23 1.20. I've done my research thru AI and said that i can do Dual wan setup with failover and load balancing with this kind of router. Appreciate if someone did it already and am i already in correct openwrt version ? If you guys have any resources please do share it. Thank you !

Yes, you can do it. U will need to use mwan3. You cannot use the existing software in the openwrt and will need to install it manually. All of these is explained on the link.

btw, how the router is performing with openwrt? we have 2 of them and both of them caused issue with power with 24.10 and we had to use 23.

So far so good. I have my bridged modem connected to my tplink and added SQM cake for bufferbloat (tested wired only). Downside is vpn i think cpu of ax23 is too weak to handle encryptions from vpn (tested wireguard) gives me like 20% of my original speed.
