Hi,

Do not get the question wrong, but what commands or applications do you use for these reports?

I always use the latest wifi driver with every build. Back to wifi, do you have hardware devices that support these extra speeds? For example do you have devices that support 40mhz widths with 2.4Ghz? Also, do you have devices that support tri stream MIMO 160Mhz widths? If you don't then you will never see a connection with the type of theoretical speeds.

There are a couple of builds out there that leverage older kernels, and the reason behind I think for this approach is for refinement and honing of the system. The daily snapshots and the builds I upload to the server are considered to be bleeding edge or development. Each build will likely have some issues that need to be addressed. I hope this gives you a better idea of what you are looking for.

*EDIT*

As a test I connected my S8 Active to 2.4Ghz, and it connects at 20Mhz or 144Mbps. So, my phone which is pretty recent will never connect to any faster rate as it is not supported with this hardware.  I think my iPhones are the same way as well, but would need to verify.  On 5Ghz my S8 active connects at 866Mbps which I believe is about maximum for 80Mhz width. There will need to be some tests to see if it can take advantage of 160Mhz or at least connect showing 160Mhz width.

r6302 has been uploaded to the server and is available for download for the 3200acm, 1200ac, 1900acs, and 1900acv2.

Kernel bump to 4.9.82.
The latest wifi driver is included that fixes a memory corruption.
Wifi for the 1200ac will is continuing to include the fix to thwart high ping / latency.
The builds continue to have the "darkmatter" theme available for LuCi.

https://davidc502sis.dynamic-dns.net/releases/

As usual, please post any issues you may see with this build.

Hi Dave.

it was like I tested the speeds, at home I have computers and cell phones standard with vao up to 800Mbps home, above that I have never seen it, and all the names already with standard AC, and in the company for having a greater variety of people and devices, it was where I put the 3200, because the processors and menorah have as pulls the network with more tranquility.

  I questioned because in the wifi options I did not find how to configure as for example in 2.4 pto VTH20 that from what I was watching would be like the router would work offer up to 600Mbps, not that it makes me difference , just curious the will to learn more.

I will be downloading and installing the new buil the WRT3200 tomorrow, and thanks for the good work done.

EDIT: any news about luci-app-advanced-reboot ?

The advanced reboot work fine again in the last r6302 version.
The problem was already corrected a few weeks ago.

By the way, LuCi does say what speeds devices are connecting at, and perhaps you already know it.  Look under Overview and scroll down to Associated Stations, and look to the right where it says TX and RX Rates.

Advanced reboot is working again.

Looks as though kernel 4.14 is actively being worked on to fix issues.

Here are 2 new commits for the 1900/1200/3200 series.

mvebu: add missing patch for reprobing SFP phys for 4.14  …

Those commits are actually in support of the sfp port on other mvebu targets(Turris Omnia,Clearfog). On the plus side that should be that last remaining issue for making 4.14 the default for the mvebu targets, which are working well by all accounts. So I think 4.14k will be default real soon.

How I wish the 3200acm had ports that supported sfp's.... 1Gig has been around a long time, and it just doesn't have the same impact it used to.

From what I understand 10gig tp uses a lot of power, and I don't know if that will be overcome any time soon. Really, Fiber is the way to go as those costs have come way way down.

Thanks for setting the record straight about those commits.

New wifi driver version mwlwifi-10.3.4.0-20180226 has been commit as well as new firmware.

I'll have it uploaded to the site tomorrow night.

it's iperf3 log.
In my case, i use

iperf3 -s -p 9000

on router, and

iperf3 -c <router IP> -p 9000 -V

on client (Windows notebook).

For those who just upgraded to r6302, there is now new wifi drivers AND firmware.

Get the latest driver from the link below.

https://davidc502sis.dynamic-dns.net/re … _vfpv3.ipk

Get the latest firmware update from the link below.

https://github.com/kaloz/mwlwifi/blob/5 … 8W8964.bin

Nice!! Thanks!

Sorry if the question is basic, but how to proceed to update the driver and firmware in vs already installed?

I know I already saw something about it but I do not find it now that I need it, I recognize that my command knowledge of the terminal is very rusty: D, if friends can at least give me a north of where to start researching and studying the assent I thank you; )

EDIT: I made the new installation (r6302), using the factory to, as this preserves the STOK partition, but I suspect another doubt, and is it safe to restore the faito backup of the last used version?

now wait how to install the new FE and wifi driver

Look at #5 of FAQ to install new wifi driver   https://davidc502sis.dynamic-dns.net/faq/

I'm not sure if installing the wifi driver also replaces the Firmware, so I've always done it separately.

For the firmware you need a program like MobaXterm or WinSCP.  Create a new session and connect to the router. Navigate in Moba to /lib/firmware/mwlwifi/ and rename the old firmware to .old or something else to your liking, and then just drag and drop the new firmware into that directory and reboot.

In addition to that, I notice that I need to do chmod +x for the firmware you copy to the /lib/firmware/mwlwifi directory, but it probably depends how you copied it.

I copied it over, but didn't look at the permissions... However after a reboot this is how it looked. I don't know if they changed during reboot or It just worked out.

root@lede:/lib/firmware/mwlwifi# ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        118776 Feb 24 09:12 88W8864.bin
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        489932 Feb 24 09:12 88W8897.bin
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        450512 Feb 24 09:12 88W8964.bin
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        449468 Feb 24 09:12 88W8964.old.bin

I'm Mac user try use FileZila (Sftp) or CyberDuck (Sftp), oe commnad line in terminal com SCP command

Thaks guys for fast help,

EDIT : DONE! just install SFTP module copy and set permissions now rebbot.

EDIT 2: everything seems to have worked, I did my first test I liked the result (via LAN) I will see how it is in the WIFI,

  by LAN Cable

  By Wifi 5G

I saved this from an earlier post I hope it helps you 

I substituted the files so that the driver and firmware are for Dave's current r6302 Build

First I always disable both wifi radios in Network - Wireless
Second - I remove wifi driver - you can remove wifi driver on this current Dave build r6302 with the command below:

opkg remove kmod-mwlwifi_4.9.82+10.3.4.0-20180118-1_arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3.ipk

Slightly easier way to update driver and firmware without using/needing SCP:
1) Make sure your router is connected to internet.  Make sure you are running @david's latest build (r5422).  This is mandatory in order to update the driver successfully and not put the router into a bootloop.

2) Download needed files to router.  Issue commands over SSH.
Go into temp folder from command line   -     cd /tmp   

use wget to get files into  /tmp folder

wget https://davidc502sis.dynamic-dns.net/re … _vfpv3.ipk
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kaloz … 8W8964.bin

3) Install latest driver

opkg install kmod-mwlwifi_4.9.82+10.3.4.0-20180226-1_arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3.ipk  ( while still in /tmp folder )

(not necessary to remove the old version driver first, nor turn wifi off and back on, since the updated driver/ipk file has a new version number and will update/install in-place perfectly fine--this has been tested).   NOT SURE ABOUT THIS STEP . THIS IS WHY I ALWAYS REMOVE DRIVER AND DISABLE WIFI !!!

4) Update latest firmware   -  Execute commands from /tmp or root folder
     mv /lib/firmware/mwlwifi/88W8964.bin /lib/firmware/mwlwifi/88W8964.bin.old
     mv /tmp/88W8964.bin /lib/firmware/mwlwifi/88W8964.bin

5) Reboot router
6) Enjoy!

Hi directnupe,

thanks, it will be very useful, okay, I'll save it for future reference, but I think I got it right, I just forgot to turn off the radios, but apparently everything is working fine, I hope!

Now I'm trying to format and create a pendrive to use as / opt and install some ADD-ons, but in the tutorials I found it did not work, I think David vs. David is already updated, and in OS X there is no application to browse in EXT4 or F2fs ...

Hi @david,

Is Advanced Reboot not working on r5917? I am getting "This system does not have two partitions!" on LUCI's Advanced Reboot.

Is there another way, can I reboot to the other partitian via command line? how?

thanks in advance

Hi benjie413 to fix Advanced Reboot  log on with putty do opkg update then opkg install luci-app-advanced-reboot It will update the Advanced Reboot  and it will work again.

Hi,

@david : please include this ht tps://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/staging/kaloz.git;a=commit;h=7ae59a2f288ba1cef23b20e1d36e199e8c646245 into your builds.
it is about supporting new nand chips (Winbond) used in new wrt3200acm units (and maybe wrt32x).

thanks

Patch 005-linksys_hardcode_nand_ecc_settings.patch will be introduced in the next kernel 4.14.x as I don't see any patches for 4.4 or 4.9.

In the last experimental build this patch was added and compiled without issue.

To my understanding, for 4.4 and 4.9 only the DTS file needs to be patched (as the DTS is part of Openwrt sources).

For 4.14 there is a separate patch, as the DTS itself is upstreamed to Linux sources.
