Install the latest openwrt firmware

The router is great: fast and small. The only problem is that the manufacturer's firmware is based on Openwrt Chaos Calmer, which is three years old in 2020. When I installed the latest version of openwrt, the device started working much faster: the Lucy interface is much faster than the regular one. And I was able to install the latest software: afp protocol for Apple backups and drivers for external hard drives.
