Think you meant 34844. That has the new drivers called out.
Not that I care, My Netgear r8000 is running fine with latest Kong and no waiting for the vendor to FINALLY get drivers right after almost 2 years. My Netgear r8000p runs circles around my wrt3200 both with OEM and dd-wrt firmware. Not even close. That tells me there are issues with the driver still with even the OEM driver. Would expect the wrt3200 would perform close to another box with same processor speed and wireless speed. Just not true.
Drivers and sloooooow wireless driver support is why I now am running Netgear in place of the wrt3200 I worked with for 2 years.
I am actually currently using Kong's latest firmware on my R8000 too. But I am eagerly awaiting the next BS release to put my WRT1900ACS V2 to good use. Just playing around with both routers to find the best solution. _________________ Linksys WRT1900ACS V2 dd-wrt bs r35034

I got 34841 @ Repo and am testing it, according change log this shouldn't be working for me but I now have PPPOE as well as working wifi I will test further, still hoping for 844 soon but will check this one for driver and firmware version... stand by....
All web sites no problem.
wifi @ 5 Ghz now starting without help Android S7 once again happy and connecting automatically.
A clue is that the signal to noise ratio, noise and signal all are reading somewhat sensibly compared to the total nonsense they've been reporting. _________________ WRT3200ACM

Keep your eye's on the Beta Downloads you should see something very soon I hope!
looking at the change logs more closely I found that the PPPOE issue was fixed in 34819 so I really know nothing about the other issues except that this build I'm using also seems to have fixed any issues with android clients.
I hope when something is available anyone can tell me if it's true I'm getting almost double wifi range for a given data rate? _________________ WRT3200ACM

and there is the new build:34876
Yea you'll probably find problems with this if you're running VHT80, but give it a try.
I downloaded it yesterday and found I couldn't get it to run VHT 80 I could run 40 but for 5 Ghz that's a deal breaker for me.
EDIT: the one with the same version has differences according to hex compare this one seems fine and has the fix's for PPPOE as well as others.
