This build thread is for reporting successes and problem with loading this experimental test build. This is important info for developers and users. Always state your hardware and SPECIFIC build (e.g. 29440_NEWD-2_K2.6_mega-nv64k.bin). Do not ask questions about your specific router or how to configure it in this thread; create your own thread to discuss any specific problems you have or need resolved. Please also do not respond to such questions. This thread is to report info, not to seek it. Posts that do not add to understanding this build will be deleted. Make sure you know how to flash properly and the risk before using this build. It is important to adhere to these requirements, to keep this thread from becoming impossibly long and useless. If you don't know what build to flash and how to flash properly and have a means of recovery if things should go wrong, do NOT flash this experimental test build. _________________ Unofficial Kong's release repository : http://ddwrt-kong.clonevince.fr/
I have two R7000, one router and one wired AP. Upgraded to 30185M from 30100M ... I'm still experiencing speed issues (every since 4.4 kernel), this is what I see:
- from router my MacBook Pro via 5g-ac I get full speed of 240mb/14mb (down/up)
- from router my iphone and ipad via 5g-ac is much slower, I get 40mb/12mb
- from router wired LAN I get half the speed 110mb/14mb
- from AP my iphone and ipad via 5g-ac is much slower, I get 40mb/12mb
- from AP my MacBook Pro via 5g-ac I get half speed of 110mb/14mb (probably due to slow LAN)
Highest build without speed issues for me is 29300-2/3 ... 3.x kernel.

Router Name: EA6900
Router Model: Linksys EA6900 (XVortex CFE)
Firmware Version : DD-WRT v3.0-r30185M (07/11/16)
Kernel Version: Linux 4.4.14 #124 SMP Mon Jul 11 23:58:13 CEST 2016 armv7l
Upgraded: from 29620M via telnet (upgrade via WebGui or DDUP not possible)
Reset: Yes, before and after (Erase NVRAM)
Configuration: AP, DHCP server, 2,4GHz wireless running, 5GHz currently running will disable and check later, some static leases and some port range forwarding, NVRAM size just below 32K (NVRAM size should not be a problem with the Xvortex CFE)
Status: Up and stable for 1 hour, excellent wireless speed and range, WAN throughput 40/4 (is my ISP's maximum),
One observation: Samsung phone was in previous build shown as HT20 now VHT80.
Router: Netgear R7000
Firmware: v3.0-r30185M kongac (07/11/16)

Updated via ddup, all ok, wifi is a little bit faster and stable from my tests but just minimal change. I'm happy to see Privoxy 3.0.25 beta included! Super!
Here are my test (from 867mbps card on my MacBook 2015 to my cabled iMac 37 5k 2015)
This is Privoxy 3.0.25 on R7000 (192.168.1.2), port 8118, enabled

Router: Netgear R7000
Updated via ddup over 29875
Initially the router works fine (wifi speed is also excellent), however after a couple of hours I lose wifi connectivity, then the GUI becomes unresponsive, and finally wired connectivity goes as well and I have to power-cycle the router.
Exactly the same happened with the previous build (30100).
Everything seems to be working on initial load. I noticed something with speed tests in the last 2 versions. When I first boot the R8500, I can get my ISP max of 230 Mbps on my ISP's speed test: speedtest.bhn.net. After a few minutes, however, it drops as low as 30 Mbps and thereafter, I see no higher than about 70 Mbps. openspeedtest.com and speedtest.net both still register the full 230 Mbps, however, so I don't know what to make of these results. I only mention them in case it means something to Kong. I'll keep running this latest version for a while to see if I get any reboots like I did on 30100. On 30100, I got a couple random reboots so I went back to 30000 where I had no problems. I'll see if this 30185 can replace 30000 as my "go to" version.

Reverted to 29875.
I have had exactly same thing. There is no difference of enabling or disabling the wireless (2.4 and/or 5Ghz). Going back to 29875 everyhting works fine,

I did look into memory usage:
Old version 29620M used 40112K stable for days
New version 30185M, with both 2,4 and 5,0 GHz enabled, saw increased memory usage until about 2 hours of usage and seems to stabilze at 44100K used memory, so a bit higher.
Now running test with 5 GHz disabled, after one hour already more than 65000k memory used and increasing!
This spells disaster
I have screen shots of the TOP and I can post them if necessary
Temperature of CPU was also about 5 degrees higher: 67 instead of 62 with 29620M.

SAME in R7000 .. back to bullet prof 29300 ...
In R8500 it last more .. but 30100 freezes too .. i think 30185 will be the same ..
