Building them right now as I want to see how 3.18 performs on my new line. 4.9 is sometimes good and sometimes bad, I also just changed modem firmware which saves reduced ping by 6ms.
Line is great
Router ModelNetgear R7500v2
Firmware Version DD-WRT v3.0-r37400M kongat (10/15/18 )
Kernel VersionLinux 4.9.133 #211 SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 15 22:30:40 CEST 2018 armv7l
Looks like a great build but QoS still terrible and behind 3.18. I'm so disappointed
Kong would you be so kind to also release the 3.18 builds
I'm really late to the party but just installed DD-WRT Kong on my R7500v2 a couple weeks ago. After researching DD-WRT QOS a bit and implementing a fairly simplistic QOS config on my router, I'm quite pleased with it so far. Bufferbloat is an "A," websites load snappily, and everyone in the house is happy.
But I've read some grumblings about the newer 4.x kernel builds. What's so bad about them with regards to QOS?

look at the download latency different on k4.9 vs k3.18, and the throughput difference with k4.9 hfsc. its not normal, and im not the only one with the issue either. my isp bufferbloat is better than that, and it only seems to be on ipq806x on k4.x, other arch like broadcom northstar is fine on k4.x. _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S)

Thank you for that. So are most folks in agreement or coming to the realization that something ain't right in the land of QOS on 4.x?
When did Kong start switching to 4.x builds? Is his last stable build from February of this year still on the 3.x kernel? _________________ Netgear R7500v2, DD-WRT v3.0-r37845M kongat

Wow, evidently I’m still on the 3.18 Kong builds so I guess I’ll sit tight for the moment. Unless there are some good reasons for moving to 4.x kernel (e.g. stable beamforming). _________________ Netgear R7500v2, DD-WRT v3.0-r37845M kongat

beamforming is radio driver/firmware, and client device dependent, not kernel. i have no issues with beamforming. the difference is noticeable with iphone xs max. _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S)

Router R7800, AP, static addresses, wireless 2,4 & 5 GHz with guest VLAN, USB drives, NAS
QoS HTB, FQ_CODEL, 8000 down, 1000 up (without QoS more than 20000 down, 1500 up depending on situation; on a small business LAN, so double NAT)
These are the best results so far & the first run on this latest Kong fw 37400M. On previous version 37120M bufferbloat was B at best.
