I have tried digging into the forums, but there are so many pages following the development of this firmware, that I can't feasibly read them all.
Are there current known issues such as these? The only radio that matters, at this point, is the 2.4. There is no VPN, no USB setup, basically just a secured AP/router.
I don’t notice any difference in signal strength with either band on my r7800 running kong builds. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.

What about connection issues? There seems to be some stutters happening, even on regular web surfing. I've had a continuous ping running and every 50 or so will drop.
After changing to Wide HT40, haven't dropped a ping yet under normal use (have several systems streaming HD videos just to generate some heavier traffic).
However, if I load it up with a speed test, it will drop a few on download and a few more on upload. I read through that entire link, am I missing something?

Thanks.
and that small amount of drop is on pinging a server on the internet or local ping to router? and how fast is ur wan? _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S)

The pings are back to the router (local). Our wan is only 100. According to the monitoring in this router and our last, we never get close to pegging that unless I am doing some remote back ups. Even if we were maxed out, it shouldn't cause a local ping drop. The response times have settled down, but if this was a wired setup I would start looking for a failing cable.

35900M and 36100M are rock solid builds. No wifi signal issues, no lagging or drops any online activity: streaming, browsing, downloading, continuous traffic from multiple clients. No complains from very picky impatient young users. These should be be kept as backup stable builds.
The 35900M is posted in a thread on here somewhere. I am now using the latest Kong test version and it seems fine.
thanks Malachi and Tastuya for your kind replies.
Do you know if Kong's new builds have fixed the KRACK security BUG of WPA2, that seems to be fixed in October BS versions ?
The readme file in kong's dir does not explain too much about revision history.....
Yes Kong has patched it. I usually always use the test version. If I encounter troubles, I roll back to the other build. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.
I have a new problem with ISP DHCP after cable modem upgrade from arris sb6183 to sb8200 docsys 3.1.
When i resetting the power on cable modem and r7800 ( kong 36175) at the same time i am not receiving Gateway IP and internet IP from ISP just 0.0.0.0.
If i am connecting computer directly to modem then i have IP and Internet right away on computer and i can connect the router to modem back and everything is working. What a mess!!!
The old arris sb6183 works fine for years. I did install the Voxel on r7800 and it works fine with sb8200 after simultaneous reset.
What do you think? Any ideas? _________________ Netgear R7800

My sb8200 modem is loading very fast so it looks like a problem between r7800 kong and sb8200 and ISP after full power reset. At the first reset stage the modem is sending own IP (192.168.100.x) to router and 0.0.0.0 then
BTW, there is no problem with consecutive reset.
I have the same auto DHCP problem with old sb6183. So, its router problem. Will do the factory reset and will try the old builds. Very strange _________________ Netgear R7800

What happens if you power off both devices, power on your router and let it boot completely, then power on your modem (maybe unplug the power cord for your modem while the router boots)?
I've had issues as well where the modem doesnt recognize the router and I get no internet/IP. If I do what I suggested, router gets an IP from the ISP.
