I returned to stock rom so I don't have a screenshot available, but will post one if I feel dangerous and reinstall ddwrt this weekend.

Currently uploading a new build, major change is openvpn speed enhancement.

Previous build:

Code:
root@DD-WRT:~# openssl speed blowfish

type             16 bytes     64 bytes    256 bytes   1024 bytes   8192 bytes
blowfish cbc     18179.23k    19495.15k    19749.76k    19835.66k    19875.81k

root@DD-WRT:~# openssl speed aes-256-cbc

type             16 bytes     64 bytes    256 bytes   1024 bytes   8192 bytes
aes-256 cbc      22928.77k    23595.56k    23849.71k    23954.80k    23974.53k


Build 27560:
Code:

root@DD-WRT:~# openssl speed blowfish

type             16 bytes     64 bytes    256 bytes   1024 bytes   8192 bytes
blowfish cbc     28217.16k    30794.11k    31652.27k    31766.45k    31829.05k

root@DD-WRT:~# openssl speed aes-256-cbc

type             16 bytes     64 bytes    256 bytes   1024 bytes   8192 bytes
aes-256 cbc      25456.34k    26768.08k    27290.11k    27321.75k    27365.63k


Especially a huge increase for blowfish algo. In case your vpn provider uses blowfish algo you should see a nice increase in throughput.

Kong, is your new build version 27560 ? Or 27564 ? On svn http://svn.dd-wrt.com/ I see you made the changes in r27563 & r27564...

I applied the changes in 27560, did my tests, then I committed the changes.

Thus these changes are included in 27560.

I have installed the 27560 build today and so far it seems to be mostly ok, but I have found the following weird problems:

1) The SSID I have configured on WL1 (the 2.4ghz radio) is configured as WPA2 Personal in the web ui, but all my devices think it is using WEP.

2) The apply serttings buttons are gone from the custom DDNS settings page after i applied the config the first time - now I cant change it.

Anyone else had similar issues or can offer suggestions? I've done nvram reset & factory restore already.

Ok, Disregard my last post... after a few reboots those issues seem to have sorted themselves out.

What I am still having trouble with is the wireless signal from WL0. With my phone right next to the router it is getting 1 bar or sometimes nothing from that SSID, but the other 2 radios are full bars. I've tried boosting the TX power for WL0 but it hasnt really helped. Anyone notice the same thing?

This was the problem with R27525, have compiled R27560 and the same LAN port issue exists. The main changes notable in robo source in R27463 were additions to recognize device ids 53011, 53012, etc. Nvram dumps for vlan look ok:


Code:

Had to make some mods to the Makefile.northstar commenting removewhitespace(in northstar makefile and kromo) to fix the webui

Commenting out the following fixed the wl.ko module so it would load (also had to delete brcm folder and svn pull again to get the right object files after they were corrupted by code below)

Code:

#   -cp $(LINUXDIR)/brcm/$(ARCH)/wl/clm/src/wlc_clm_data_default.c $(LINUXDIR)/brcm/$(ARCH)/wl/clm/src/wlc_clm_data.c
#   -touch $(LINUXDIR)/brcm/$(ARCH)/wl/clm/src/wlc_clm_data.c


I still cant find where the error was introduced that broke the LAN ports... missing something obvious. Everything else seems to work but LAN port... and erasing nvram doesn't help...lol

BTW I have been working on a QEMU model for the Broadcom northstar CPU I can boot kernel but still having difficulties emulating NAND and PCI..work in progress. Will post some of boot logs and possibly the modified QEMU for Broadcom when have time.

I reinstalled dd-wrt 27540 this weekend and all devices are great, including the Galaxy Tab (so far). I researched a lot and came across one forum that said setting static IP on the device, not the router, kept the connection stable and prevented drops. So far so good. Will see if it holds for a week or so before getting too excited.

Overall, Kong's 27540 seems like a heckuva good quality build. Thank you soooooo much Kong!!

Wow, I'm impressed, docdude. Two posts in the forum and you're already locating bugs... I can barely flash the firmware, let alone compile and find bugs.

Hi, first time user of DD-WRT R8000, using FW version: DD-WRT v3.0-r27540M kongac (07/26/15)

I was able to set time restrictions for WL0 and WL1, however WL2 time restrictions settings could not be saved and applied. Everytime I set the time restriction on WL2, and I save settings and apply settings, WL2 radio scheduling goes back to disabled mode once the new settings are applied.

I'm not sure, but is this issue fixed in the Aug.8/15 version?

Thanks Kong for a new awesome dd-wrt build for my R8000. It's pretty much working as I hoped, but just having a little trouble with one simple thing.

I'm trying to install Entware by following this guide:

http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=975530

However, I'm having trouble mounting my USB drive to /opt. I went into the services - USB section and copied/pasted the UUID into the "Mount this Partition to /opt" but under Disk info it still says "/dev/sdb1 mounted to /tmp/mnt/sdb1"

Any ideas how I can mount my drive to /opt so I can install Entware?

If the firmware for the R8000 is anything like the R7000, and I am pretty sure it is as the firmware I run and this one for the R8000 are both compiled by Kong, then just name the partition opt, and it will automount the drive to opt.
