Noticed a fairly large size difference between Kongs AC-ARM build and the newest build for Asus AC68U. Curious about the reason for this size difference? Anyone knows?

Kong's versions were optimized. You had either zabbix support or BT support in his builds. He also stated that some unused functionality was removed.

Brainslayer's build has both BT and zabbix build in. There was some discussion about the differences in the original r7000 thread if your willing to dig some

Yes, as I recall, Kong was concerned about reliable flashes if he went over 20MB for a firmware image. So he tried to stay under that size by not including everything in each image.

I have the Netgear R7000. I guess it's good for testing, but I'll wait for Kong's release.

yup, several threads with hundreds of posts Smile

As I understand it, Kong will no longer be releasing builds, but will still be contributing to dd-wrt as a developer.

Brainslayer has recently spun a couple of new builds to fill the gap.
