[Make-wifi-fast] Make-Wifi-Fast benefits on which hardware?

Been away from "the scene" for a bit,  was wondering if the new TP-Link
travel router I'm eyeing would be able to take advantage of the latest?

Its the TL-WR902AC.  Depending on hardware version its either a QCA9531
with a QCA9887 for 5ghz,  or a *MediaTek* MT7628AN and a MT7610EN.

How are either of those for working with the stuff?

Is it still a short list of supported hardware, or has it spread out a lot?

Tnx...

Jon

The OpenWrt ToH indicates that MT7610EN is not supported by the upstream
driver: https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr902ac_v3

I do see some references to MT7610E (without the N) in the driver,
though, so not sure if this is still accurate.

If it *is* supported I would tend to go with mediatek over ath10k...
