This looks like a pretty interesting piece of kit, particularly given the
specs for the price ($69USD for the beta board).  Might be worth a look
into as a potential candidate for the make-wifi-fast router.

Wi-Fi SoC – Mediatek MT7621A dual core MIPS 1004Kc processor @ 880MHz
System Memory – 512 MB DDR3 (Beta version: 256 MB)
Storage – 16 MB SPI flash memory, 2x SATA 3.0 ports, micro SD card slot

Wi-Fi
802.11 b/g/n @ 2.4GHz up to 300Mbps
802.11 a/n/ac @ 5 GHz, up to 867Mbps (AC1200 class router)
External High-Gain Antennas – 2x for 2.4GHz, 2x for 5GHz

Ethernet – 2x LAN (Gigabit Ethernet), 1x WAN (Gigabit Ethernet)
USB – 1x USB 2.0 host port, 1x USB 3.0 port

Apparently, the wifi chipsets are "MT7612E and MT7602E”.  Is the driver support for them any good?

Felix has been working on drviers fro the MediaTek chips.  I'll leave it to
him to comment...
