In K4.4 builds there is a new dhd driver for the R8000/R8500 thus I would expect it to be better and fix a few things that are not working in the previous driver.
4.4 will be back once I fixed the issues, that I found. I just fell for those everything is OK comments from you guys and BrainSlayer.
Lesson learned, don't trust anything except my systematic tests.
Want an example:
constantly ping the routers lan ip and then run command "ifconfig br0 down"
now you have your kernel crash, does not happen on 3.10:-)
There is a big gap between it is "working here" and "it makes it through a series of tests".
Very well said Kong. Building on that what would be helpful for everyone is an executable script that runs a set series of tests, and have us post the results of the tests. So much more meaning full than our current personal opinion of "Status: Working" and "Errors: No"
I would be willing to put my time towards development an official router testing script for testing dd-wrt builds
I was thinking the same thing. I don't have a serial cable to recover should my router be bricked, but if there is a simple and safe "get the output of X command" that would be good, too. _________________ R7000 Nighthawk - DD-WRT v3.0-r50308

I'm pretty sure that this won't effect me and even though I may be asking a compeletely daft question - but what's 128K for?
Newer netgear units come with 128K nvram. The R6400 that I just ported has 128K nvram. I also know that the R7300 has 128K, but have no such unit at the moment. _________________ KONG PB's: http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/

This is more for informational purposes than anything; the R7000 has 128K as well. Would it be safe to flash the 128K build on the R7000, if someone accidentally grabbed the wrong file? If not, would it just not work, or could it potentially damage the R7000? _________________ R7000 Nighthawk - DD-WRT v3.0-r50308

Count me in. I'm willing to run test scripts on my R8500 as well, if that helps.

Web-updated from BS r29837. No problem. Still got some TX packets errors (less than 1%) and no "stable" wifi on my iPhone 6S (during a speedtest the speed varies from 70 to 30 to 40 to 60mbps etc..). On Atheros device I get always fixed at the maxiumum 70mbps.

Im curious to know about the R7000 as well if it's ok use 128K
Router:EX6200
Firmware:june 11
Kernel:?
Status:GUI not working, WAN and LAN ok
Reset:No
Errors: Gui not working
My first message to tell you that I did the update to the latest version available but that the GUI is not accessible.
I can't connect to the web interface, even after reboot or restarting httpd.
I can acess through SSH, and httpd -p 80 returns errors (I will copy that later tonight)
By the way, the ddup method never worked, seems like the validation process is the culprit as it ends with invalid firmware, even If I try a local update through ssh. Also, it erases the firmware file...

Same build has different kernel on different machines but for firmware...sure
People might not always use same firmware on the same router. Some use big, some use mini etc. That is why the standard format is as it is. _________________ SIG:

Done it intuitionally...router works with only one flaw but don't know if depends on that....next time I use standard to rule it out

Had a similar problem after upgrading a few builds back. Did a reset and after that wifi was stable again _________________ Netgear R7000 on Build 55109
