[Feature Request]: (very) stable router firmware #4269

Description

It would be very useful to have an extensively tested version to flash devices that will be routers. These machines are often located on high, hard-to-reach points. A router doesn't necessarily need to have the latest features or sexy options, but stability is crucial. The latest "stable" versions have brought me a few surprises... Why not release a "router" version every 6 or 8 months, for example, which has undergone a series of extensive tests?

This is what the repeater role is for, it turns off almost everything and just repeats packets.
