I took the WNDR3700v4 I haven't been using and installed r40009
Reset & reconfig as main router
local DNS
30 static leases
port range forwarding
samba share USB flash drive
isolated guest network -- ath0.1, ath1.1 & VLAN4 port 4 via br1
I just have the one bigscreen VIZO TV wired into port4...well its actually port1 as labeled on the baskasswards netgear router case
other junk on guest net and whomever comes by
QOS HFSC FQ_CODEL

and that's while I have Netflix going on the tablet
I am very happy with this ---- some previous builds of last few months on the WNDR3700v4 the wireless guest network could
not communicate amongst themselves and since I have chromecast on the 2.4 guest net and I usually control them from tablet on 5GHz guest net so
it was very disappointing...... but r40009 is looky very good to me

There are many changes in Mesh and VHT80+80 modes. Still trying to figure out to make it work.
i tested it with 2 netgear r7800 in vht160 and vht80+80. just do it and it works. if you have a client which isnt capable of doing vht80+80 or vht160 (openwrt doesnt support it. it broken there), then it will not work, but just in vht80.
just ensure to setup the same channel of both sides and the same encryption setup and it works.
if you use openwrt on one side, do not use encryption. openwrt does not support SAE encryption with most algorithms. GCMP etc. is not supported by openwrt.
@BS, Yes I was only testing between two R9000 and 2 R7800 all four in mesh which are all VHT160 and 4x4 streams supported. And NO openwrt.
The only thing I didn't try yet is the RESET. I can try that if its necessary .
And report back
UPDATE: Thanks! BS. Reset fixed the Mesh issues. I'm able to set VHT160 channel 36-64 and 100 - 128 DFS.
UPDATE2: @BS, I found an issue with R9000 Mesh VHT160 mode. It works fine without encryption. But as soon as I enable WPA the Radio shutoff in Mesh mode.
UPDATE3: OK, finally I found the culprit in this build which was responsible Mesh radio shutoff.
I had this option below enabled which was the culprit. Earlier builds were just working fine with this.
802.11r / Fast BSS Transission support
This should be disabled for Mesh VHT160 to work in this build. Hope BS fixes this soon. Still I can't get internet from mesh clients which I will have to figure out.
Also, adding VAP doesn't work (unable to connect to ).
@BS, here are my final findings on latest Mesh commits:
VHT160 mode now works (must disable 802.11r), I tested and works. Unfortunately, I don't get speeds above 600mbps using iperf3. Infact, was getting better results using VHT80.

Issues:
1. Must disable 802.11r.
2. VHT80+80 mode the channels gets disarrayed, for example if I use channel 100 some how it adds channel 42 to the combination instead of susing 100 to 128 range
3. Adding VAP messes up Mesh (Radio channels goes to unknown)
4. Static IP wired clients can't get internet ( DHCP clients work fine)

R9000:
Gremlins showed up... 5ghz just stopped working/broadcasting. The gui showed it was working, no device could see 5ghz. Soft reboot, hard reboot, disable/enable radio, nothing worked. Since 40048 was released, I did a facotry reset & upgrade to that firmware and loaded everything fresh again.
Once on 40048, 2.4ghz radio didn't want to broadcast, but it showed as working...I went in wifi settings and played around with the network mode.
Originally-NG mixed, switched to mixed & hit apply, then switched back to NG mixed and hit apply again- Viola- 2.4ghz working again.
I have a cron job to reboot daily...we'll see what happens tomorrow... _________________ FORUM RULES
