Any idea?

Did you read david's post just above about path issue? I think not.

I did add platform to the path, isn't it right?

There are $ signs at the end of the path where there should be a .0 

Try that.

@Davidc502

Running your 4.9 on my WRT3200(main), WRT1900ACv2(AP). Running quite well.

I have an R8000 bridged to the 5ghz on the WRT3200, holding steady at 1300mbs.

Thanks very much for your images ! Will report back if I run into any issues.

WOW! That's a hell of a lot of speed! Nice!

I can report the 3200ACM wifi driver's performance is really good. Currently my internet connection is 300/300mbps and has no issues maxing the line out.

installed test build on my wrt3200. Since I am in Russia I have bunch of channels so do not need DFS. But... I have no 160mhz clients sad
Will see how it works.
P.S. where I can read abt three radios on wrt3200? It appears, I do not need third one?

Third radio.

@Davidc502

ddwrt on the wrt3200acm would have the bridge fluctuate around 900mbs. running your image has it locked in at 1300mbs. all my multimedia feeds throught the bridge, xbox1, ps4, tv, receiver......etc.

i have a 10/100 internet  connection, with the xbox one hardwired to the bridge, it has a upload of 8, download of 110. pretty nuts. If this is permanent....I think we can consider the beast unleashed !  (wr32100acm!)

I looked through your posts, and didn't see if you have a 3200acm or not?   If you are on ACM, make sure you're running the 4.9 kernel and not the 4.4.

Yes, It should be on by default under the SSID of "LEDE".  As for MU-MIMO, the driver is still be worked on, and last I looked 160hz widths aren't working yet.

Observation: Uptime of 8 hours.  Wifi download speeds are degrading over time.

Anyone else seeing this?

I rebooted, but didn't seem to help.  Could be interference, so will test later tonight when all the wifi in the neighborhood dies down.

If you're asking for kernel 4.9 running on a 3200, not sure... here on 1900ACS v2, 12 hours uptime, wifi is perfect (2.4ghz band)

8.5 hrs uptime on my 3200. 5ghz has definitely crapped out.

Check it late at night or early in the morning and see if it's still the same.

Over 12 hours uptime on Kernel 4.9 with latest radio drivers. Zero issues.

WRT1200AC V1

wrt3200acm

root@LINKSYS:/tmp# uptime
 11:36:03 up 12:46,  load average: 2.02, 0.74, 0.29
root@LINKSYS:/tmp# ./wifiinfo.lua
2.4G radio is up, 0 clients connected
5G radio is up, 1 clients connected

but this device run just as AP and there is a few clients connecting to. At least it still alive )

16 hours, back up and flying, no reboot, didn't touch it.

Observation --- Interference appears to be what's causing my degrading Wifi service.

There were two speed tests, one at midnight and the other 6am in the morning. Both speed tests showed really good speeds up and down. However, between 5pm and 11pm, download speeds on wifi drop significantly.  I'm on fiber to the home, and PC speed tests show full bandwidth available, so no issue there at any time of the day.

Does the 2.4GHz work OK or is it just the 5GHz that we're waiting on mid-May for?

I recently bought a 3200 and have been holding off replacing the OEM code but could do without the 5GHz for awhile.

Reports show 2.4Ghz working fine, and 5Ghz running well whilst others are showing to have issues.  I think mid-May is a set date for an official driver release as it is being debugged currently.


There are two partitions on the 3200acm, and you can install LEDE, and if it isn't working properly boot to the partition that have OEM on it.

Hi David,
The release firmware for wrt1900acs v2 can not access network ( pppoe, dhcp client) but r3988 firmware is ok.

Are you saying the 4.9 kernel works correctly ?
