Web Flashed W/Chrome.
Linksys WRT3200ACM
DD-WRT v3.0 [Beta] Build; 36247 with other issues, but is a clean vpn speed build
ath0-5GHz AC/N-Mixed Wide HT40 (40MHz), ath1-2.4GHz NG-mixed Full (20MHz) clients, ath2 2.4/5GHz All Disabled (No WiFi errors)
NordVPN DNS 1, DNS 2
NordVPN Client
NordVPN UDP 140Mbps/12Mbps out of 200/10Mbps ISP service.

11-03-2018-r37582 Linksys-WRT3200ACM has the fastest WiFi speeds, and DD-WRT v3.0 [Beta] Build; 36247 has the fastest internet, but with WiFi error issues at times for both builds. 11-17-2018-r37736 Linksys-WRT3200ACM was the first build to have its Wireless Security options changed. This is when more WPA Algorithms options where added, and speeds went down hill from there. If you have very fast internet then you probably will have no worries installing the newest Beta Builds. Those of us that only can run 200Mbps are the ones that suffer, 75-85Mbps, while upload is around 10Mbps after OpenVPN is enabled with newer builds. Still WiFi errors with all new builds especially with Note 8 (Only improving error count). ISP router IP is still showing up in active clients (IP Address eth0) on new builds.

Thanks, the fastest build is great. Just one question, Are you using beamforming on this or is it even usefull?

Im sorry, I have not used beamforming due to most all my connections are through Lan cable, and only one device is on WiFi that is only 15' away. I do see where it could be useful for others trying to maintain a better WiFi signal at longer distances. Try this build when you get a chance. This is the build that I am currently using Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r37305 std (10/10/1Cool Get it from the router database, or this link ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/

I live in an small apartment, maybe it's not that useful tbh. Does the newer build have MU-mimo support and is it the samething as single beam-forming? I really like this build 36247, my ping in cmd is used too be at stable 8 when I ping 8.8.8.8, but now it's between 7 and 8 which is lower and that's impressive. I play a lot of online games spec console, Xbox, cod titles. I need that fastest response and lowest latency too feel the advantage in these online games. I don't really care about wifi but I want low bufferbloat and latency on my wifi so that don't effect my ping on LAN. I have a chromecast, 2 phones and a computer connected to the wifi and xbox on LAN. I have fq_codel and HTB. Any tip I can give the other devices a lower prio or can I just set them MAC prio at MANUAL and my xbox at Standard?

Its really going to come down to your personal needs with your router to decide what build you may need. BrainSlayer is working every day to improve the newer builds. Now you are wanting good ping, latency, and etc? It sounds like you may need to adventure out into the DD-WRT beta world. Please report here what you find because it may help us all that can only get 100Mbps -200Mbps ISP.

I feel the 36247 is good. I just enabled fq_codel with HTB. I throttled my connection till my ping stopped spiking and got barely any bufferbloat. Changed the port prio to standard and added xboxlive to premium. That's it.

Queueing Discipline fq_codel
Downlink (kbps) 160000 80% of 200Mbps????
Uplink (kbps) 8000 80% of 10Mbps???? *Is this the right conversion of Mbps to kbps

Im also trying to set up Prio by mac but its asking for Max down/up in kBits is this the same as kbps?

I throttle my internet speed from 100/100 to 30/33.

Try doing speedtest on dslreports while pining at the same time too see if it spikes or you have bufferbloat. If the result are bad, try diffrent speed.
