Research direction

Start by reproducing the listed encryption transition with WED enabled and flow_offloading_hw set in /etc/config/firewall. Compare throughput after wifi reload, after changing flow_offloading_hw to 0, and after wifi restart; done means the transition no longer leaves WiFi at about 0Mbps without those workarounds.
