Your OpenWrt ecosystem knowledge seems oudated; upgrades are a solved problem since the advent of "Attended Sysupgrade": https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/attended.sy...

It's been included in all suitable default image configurations starting with OpenWrt release 25.12.

I do run OpenWrt on my x86-based router, on my AP, and even on my managed switches, and have no regrets.

So an image released in March? I’m not sure I’d proclaim it completely solved when it’s been ga for all of three months.

With the 25.12 release, the luci app to use ASU for upgrades became installed by default in OpenWrt's "vanilla" images the project builds and provides for supported hardware and devices.

Previous OpenWrt releases at least as far back as 21.02 could be equipped with the same degree of ASU support by installing a single package (luci-app-attendedsysupgrade) and its dependencies.

Indeed, I was referring to Attended Sysupgrade in luci or CLI.

What switches are you running it on?

Netgear GS308T, Netgear GS108T v3, and HPE JG925A.
