I have successfully implemented a recent Kong version of DD-WRT on an R7000.

On this ONE system I have:
2 SSIDs for the 2.4 and 5.0 radios (I think of them as "physical" entities)
Further
4 SSIDS (2x2.4 and 2x5.0) to separate other "groups of users"
And I have 2 SSIDs that are for access PIA's VPN - using openVPN and Policy Based routing
Each SSID has up to 20 IPs for access.

All seems to work

But it is probably slower than more limited SSIDs would be.

I have access to an ASUS RT66U and a TP-link C9 if i choose to use them.

What would you recommend to provide optimal throughput for these users.

There is only limited access now and CPU looks very low (1-2%)

I dont know enough todetermine where the CPU or other resources are being used/overused etc.

It seems that the DD-WRT I'm using is maxed out as far as more ssids. Or is there a way to configure for more?

Thx

you can use the other 2 as a WAP so less SSID on one router... i guess you are out of ram and everything is sluggish...

it also depends on what is you current build
on R7000... may be try the last Kong test build
