EA8500...main router
DD-WRT v3.0-r39855M kongat (05/25/19)
Linux 4.9.177 #413 SMP Sat May 25 15:14:58 CEST 2019 armv7l
No reset --install over r39830M
all is working well for me --- seems about same as previous
Something has changed in dnsmasq or firewall as dns no longer works with this build.
I get "dnsmasq log overflow" with this build, this is strange because I set the log to be quiet in the conf file.
I will check the commit logs if I can find them and see whats changed. I had to switch back to r39830 for now to get everything working again.
the connection problems of esp8266 based devices relies on SNR. with build r39830M (21-05-2019) it gets a signal strength of -75. in r39855 it doesn't get a connection without relocating.

It took a bit of playing with it and I have no idea which one did it but I changed a few things.
I noticed that my hostname had changed to the first entry as 0.0.0.0 instead of localhost.
So I added an entry for my router for 0.0.0.0 and :: and used the my local domain.
Clarification -
My 0.0.0.0 host kill file for spam domains was now assigning my router domain to the first domain listed in the kill file instead of nvram setting and the web interface, so I just adjusted the first entries to be my router and it seemed to have solved it.
I also added
no-resolv
to dnsmasq.conf
I then changed all three entries on the
"Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)" page to the router IP.
Then rebooted and DNS seems to be fine now.
I have no idea which one did it, lol.
found that turning on Filter TOS/DSCP in Security helps improve qos throughput especially upload fq_codel. TOS/DSCP is used by modern cake qos which is not in ddwrt so filtering it reduces overhead

fq_codel upload finally much closer to my entered limit, Filter TOS/DSCP isnt checked never was. im guessing the problem was https://svn.dd-wrt.com/changeset/39849
edit: nevermind.. its actually having my subnet in qos netmask (10.150.10.0/24) and set to express, even if no other subnets are entered, that will fix this and give me more proper upload.. accidentally discovered this when i was testing something unrelated. tried filter tos, and it completely broke download qos (disabled it) till i turned it off, which took 2x apply settings for some reason, and had no effect on upload. _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S) || Qualcomm Atheros Wi-Fi Settings Guide || Qualcomm Atheros Repeating

can you share your setup? can't get it working here which is weird since it was before
I have bad news...you need to erase NVRAM...
I had a similar issue with it not wanting to work when I switched from an older build to a newer build. Doing a factory reset seems to have killed the gremlins...
Set your Static DNS's if you want custom one's; I use Quad 9:
Static DNS 1: 2620:fe::fe
Static DNS 2: 2620:fe::9
Set MTU: 1472 (this helps reduce bufferbloat)
And then only enable radvd, all others are disabled.
Hit apply, and in a few moments you should get an IPv6. _________________ [r9000]BS 41328 (Main Router)
