Summary
DO NOT FLASH this broken build if you are busy. I did it to provide feedback to developers. After testing, I rolled back to build 53843.
This firmware for Asus RT-N18U was 50% of the usual size (since build 53915), unlike other Asus models. Router was not bricked after flashing. Internet access was OK. Youtube streaming was OK.

Previous/Reset: r54135 / no
Mode/Status: Gateway / Up and running for 3:17 hours
Issues/Errors: Nothing significant
As always, the Quantenna chip has its own quirks. This is a closed source chipset
There is no way to install a channel.
But you can disable 5.0 GHz. @mpgalaxy hack "If you set the radio mode to station bridge and disable the network mode, the 5GHz device will turn off completely even after reboot."
The fact is that the router is connected to the Internet (to the Internet provider). And it reports an error, the red WAN indicator flashes (the icon in the form of a planet). The internet works, I just think it's a glitch.
But this does not affect the work.
