r6365 running here on a 1900acsv2. Installed from the Linksys partition. I've activated both radios, the family seems happy.

I'm walking through the system and kernel logs now. I don't see anything to be concerned about so far but I have a question for anyone who wants to answer: why is it loading the bluetooth modules? Does anoyone have a usb bluetooth adapter installed? And if so, what do you do with it?

Something else: I realize this build has a kernel that is more than a year more modern than the old one but I would expect that to make the .img bigger, not smaller. This experiemental .img is 15.6 MB while the norm for the older builds using the 4.9 kernel is about 16.4 MB. That is a pretty big drop in size and I'm curious why that would be.

Cheers.

This commit reduced size somewhat (size of BLOBs removed from each image). Don't know if this build is using per-device rootfs, but even when used, I have never been able to completely remove BT(some in kernel) on all device except the one where it is wanted (rango).

I am running it now on my WRT3200ACM - I flashed from stock firmware. So far everything has gone well -  configuration worked correctly and wireless was able to be setup with the correct interfaces showing up.

Probably not related to your configuration - I did notice that I ran into some weirdness with the SQM QoS scripts not honoring my download bandwidth immediately - I ended up restarting the router and then it worked fine though.

I'll keep you updated if I see any issues.

So far, no problem on kernel 4.14.23 except SAMBA which probably didn't compile.
Will update if any issue.
Thank David for your work and contribution, I don't post much but I read this thread daily.

Thank you for the reminder....   I need to follow up with the Samba packages.

Okay, Samba is now available.  There will probably be a configuration warning the first time a package is installed, but should be fine after that.

Be sure to do a opkg update first.

This might be a strange question - I'm still running a 1900acv1 - on r5113 - stable as a stable thing - what is the max WAN speed people have seen on these routers.. I've got a 1Gigabit connection - but seeing a whole 200mbps coming down the pipe...

A couple of years ago I owned the v1. At times, depending on the build, I could get 650mbps to 800mbps. There was always this issue with IRQ balancing. Most of the times 1 cpu would handle the entire load, and when that happened I could only get around maybe 400mbps.  The other and main issue of why it isn't able to get 1Gbps was due to the lack of hardware acceleration. Over the years there have been several people who have tried to patch and get it working, but nothing really stuck, and nothing ever reached trunk for distribution. At least that's what I remember.

200Mbps seems a little low even if IRQ balancing isn't working.  Run htop whist doing a speed test and see if 1 processor gets maxed out. Also, for a test, you might check the latest build. The latest build (r6302) will have reboot issues, but I'm curious if some of the processor changes to keep it from rebooting on r5113 is killing throughput.


Do a few speed tests with it and then revert back to r5113.

Yip - A CPU core is pegging during the speed test - the second core hits around 50%-60% with r5113... will roll back to stock and test, and upgrade to r6302 and test..

Thanks smile

I rolled back to stock and didn't see any performance difference sad - looks like something is up with my connection.. booo...off to talk to my provider..

This one messes up my WiFi config on 3200 completely. Seems that there are now 2 entries for each radio in etc/config/wireless. The interfaces are still associated with the "old" radios and I cannot bring them up. I'd probably have to rebuild the whole WiFi config to make this work...but right now I'm just too lazy. tongue

SFM. Now I see 5 radios instead of 3 (or two)
Redo /etc/config/wireless with replacing

option path 'soc/soc:pcie/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0'
and
option path 'soc/soc:pcie/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:02:00.0'

for radio0 and radio1 respectively, bounce wifi and it's OK now.
Missing transmission-daemon packages on default repo.

The wifi PCI path renaming was expected for 4.14 and there is even a transition mechanism for that (4.9-->4.14) in the default sources:
https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/open … e779ae6292

With my own WRT3200ACM build, the wifi config was updated automatically with the sysupgrade from 4.9 to 4.14 bump, just as expected.

Finally we'll have to mess with path options again, oh how I missed it! lol Anyway, thanks for the info, I'll give it a shot.

hi david. on your newest experimetnal builds on wrt3200acm, i get these errors in syslog:

it's a standard cable model dhcp wan setup. no errors on previous two builds.
great work - thank you

Patch 005 has been added to the build, so the very latest 3200acm hardware can enjoy this firmware as well.
I did not hack the wifi driver for the 1200acm this time. I'm interested to hear from 1200acm users if they still experience latency or high ping times when playing games etc. If the issue continues, I will continue to make changes to the driver to accommodate 1200ac owners.

Sorry V1 owners, the reboot issue continues with this kernel.

Thx for this new 4.14 test build, I can confirm the reboot issue continues.
When I look in het software list is see 2 identical packages: mwlwifi-firmware-88w8864 is this correct?

Router: WRT1900ac v1

Hello

I noticed in the last week my WRT1900ACS V2 is restart very often, sometimes 2 times in an hour, do we know what is causing the restart?

Also, what the temperatures should be?

root@OpenWrt:~# sensors
tmp421-i2c-0-4c
Adapter: mv64xxx_i2c adapter
temp1:        +50.6°C
temp2:        +52.4°C

armada_thermal-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +81.3°C

thx, David for the work.

For those who are getting multiple SSID's after the upgrade. Try deleting all of the SSID's, and recreating only the SSID's you originally had, and see if it works.

This was for last weeks experimental build?  Go ahead and try the latest experimental and see if you are still having the same issue. If you are, please post your kernel logs.

Yes, the temperatures are normal.

Thank you for testing the 1900ac v1 with this latest kernel. So far we have had other v1 owners and they have reported the same.

@davidc502 no reboots on my v1 using your Lede SNAPSHOT r5917 with the 4.9 kernel. Is the power fix not in your new 4.14 test build?

Scratch that .. just got the reboot sad

Stick with release  r5621 with Kernel 4.9.70.  Seems to be the latest and greatest that works on the V1.

Where can I find r5621 with kernel 4.9.70 for v1? I installed the version below but its running the 4.4.93 kernel:
