Having antennas at different angles:
* Improves reliability
* Reduces dead spots
* Helps devices regardless of how their antennas are oriented

Vendor firmware is openly OpenWrt with vendor GUI added, but not replacing OpenWrt.
Of course I flashed new OpenWrt, with a custom build from pesa1234.

Why I use this combo?
Well, a person I admired very much recommended this setup to me
when I asked for a modern anti bufferbloat setup on Twitter. His name was Dave Taht. I followed his work in combatting #bufferbloat for years. His dedication resulted in the whole planet slowly making more and more use of technologies and setups which improve network latency. He passed earlier this year and I'm not likely to change this soon.
