My archer c7 v2 always shows 450 Mb/s on 5ghz even when an AC client is running higher than that with VHT40 as shown in the client list. In other words, its only an aesthetic issue. AC is likely working fine.
Did you try setting AC/N-Mixed or AC/N/G-Mixed or AC-Only (I don't know exactly how the AC naming convention is, since I don't have an AC router) instead of Mixed ?
dynamic 20/40 is an aweful setting..use ht20 or ht40 or vht80 but no dynamic
& the rate is a cosmetic bug ath10k isnt able to provide the correct data
"rate will always be 450. you may not like it but ath10k is not able to report correct tx rates. so i just can guess them, but will never know." http://svn.dd-wrt.com/ticket/4718#comment:4
I'm using Wide HT40 now but performance is the same. I get about 20 MB/sec (~160 megabit) download speed over 5ghz and most of my 5ghz devices connect at between 300 - 450 Mb/s. I know in the past my AC clients have connected at higher rates but download speed (inside the network) has always been roughly the same. Its fast enough for what I need so I haven't had any problems.

u need to use vht80 for max ac speeds, doing so with ac/n-mixed or mixed, other devices still connect fine. & when doing so u must use a channel with 3 more channels available above it, such as 149+upper (uses 153+157+161), 100+upper also uses 104+108+112, & so on). if u pick any channel + lower it wont work, another known issue with ath10k it can only use upper ext channels _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S)

If you want your AC-capable clients to connect at highest speeds, then you should set VHT80 on the router, not HT40. _________________ THERE ARE NO STRANGERS HERE; ONLY FRIENDS YOU HAVEN'T YET MET.

All working well ...
Same as previous two builds --- DNS issues until you 'Apply Settings'
'bout best I can figure it has to do with how the processes load -- what order¿¿¿???
Disabling 'Forced DNS Redirection' and reboot lets me get to some devices w/static
leases using local DNS but not all. 'Apply Settings' and it all works fine --- then again
might be time to clean out the cobwebs and reconfigure
similar to my issue i have the same thing just with the client mode interface coming up instead
race condition maybe..

did u try with unbound off? (recursive dns resolve)
No I didn't. I figure that is what it is though... that's when it started and that is the weirdo in the woods.
Seems to work fine after I hit the apply settings... and that aint really a problem if the power company
can keep their poles pointing up in air around here instead of falling on the ground.
I may tinker with it more afterlater to see for sure.
It's a bit disruptive to everyone right now if I keep rebooting main router

Upgraded WZR-HP-G300NH from 27456 to 27506 hoping that the NVRAM issue and the upgrade through WEB GUI problems might have been solved.
Nothwithstanding someone else's report in this thread about a succesful upgrade of a WZR-HP-G300NH (without resetting to boot) via the WEB GUI I had no such luck: router bricked.
So I TFTP'd v27506 ->
it seemed like working OK in every respect ... except it wasn't able to get a WAN IP from my cable modem no matter what I did to coax it ...
NVRAM backup is also still broken in v27506.
So, even though 27506 otherwise seemed OK, I was forced to go back to 27456 (again by using TFTP). After restoring all the settings from ca. 30 screen dumps WAN IP was fine right away.
Luckily I won't be tempted to try new firmware for about 5 months, since I won't be anywhere near this router
Judging by the dates in my TFTP instruction file TFTP has been my only working way to upgrade this WZR-HP-G300NH since February 2013, which seems like an awful long time for a bug like that.
Before that upgrading via the GUI was fine every time.
