Is spanning tree protocol of any use on this hardware or not?
I tried it out by crude testing - using a patch cable to create different kind of loops in system. All I had in result was complete halt of useful traffic beside the flood caused by the loop. Router tried to disable one port repeatedly, but this was not the one related to the loop. Only way out was to disconnect this cable.
Did I do something wrong or didn't I wait long enough? I know, that this kind of test should at least work on managed switches, but I have no idea, how long has the duration of test should be...
Device in question is RT-N66U with 376.48 on it.
