I should have said that I stopped using your config,  went back to
default.  Was having issues, as I was learning LEDE and luci, (probably
more me than it) so config'ed from scratch,  and THAT is what I used when
going from your build to Toke's.

I could imagine eventual problems as what's in a LEDE version changes too
much,  question is what is too much and how do you know?

Has what I done pretty much accomplished the same thing?

What I think you should do is completely reset the router's settings in the
update firmware tab on that new build, and just setup the WiFi names and
passwords.

Then go to luci-app-sqm, set your speeds, select cake, and select
piece_of_cake.qos.

The settings file I set you was for a very thorough setup.  I think you
should just go with basic WiFi and Cake to avoid conflicts
