The device's NPU is one of its most critical assets. Its primary purpose is to offload packet processing from the main CPU cores, which leads to significant improvements in routing performance. Tests have shown that with hardware Large Receive Offload (LRO) enabled, the device can achieve around using a 10 Gigabit NIC, compared to just ~2.7 Gbps with software-based Generic Receive Offload (GRO). This demonstrates the immense potential of the hardware once software support for the NPU matures.
Now that the chainloader is installed, you can boot an OpenWrt initramfs image to perform the final installation:
Route all household traffic, or specific devices, through WireGuard or OpenVPN protocols.
