I hope this means that the WLAN driver is publicly accessible as well as the wireless chipset firmware, otherwise it's moot as the Linksys GPL center doesn't have the source code tarball for this version posted yet. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

That Marvell should do. But knowing them, their current state and that they are a business for profit, we may never get to use this firmware in open source. _________________ WRT3200ACM - Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r35681 std (04/06/18).

Hi, I have been user, but have been a watcher only, of DD-WRT for a few years (old wrt610 (ashtray), r7000 untill HW died).
I bought wrt3200acm on sale (50% off). I am using stock Jan 2020 version and so far it has been stable (wifi speeds are as expected for by isp limits: 150 d/16 Up for 5G (as expected per Rogers ISP) and 40-50 D / 16 U for 2.4 G devices). Config is basic (firewall, port forwarding, cloudfare DNS, etc, and usually 10-12 devices (mostly wireless) in a 2 story medium sized home).
Having said this, I would love to switch to DDWRT to take advantage of extra functions (like DNSMASQ, more firewall IP rules, OPENVPN, etc.). However, as this is my first Marvell chipset product, can I achieve the speeds and stability as noted above? If so, latest build? Before my r7000 died, 41813 was good for me.

Hi, Thanks, I'll wait. I'll stay on stock for now and watch for reviews of next release. Is there anything big expected for next beta ? re. would there be any issue with going to a release (seems like 41954 had good reviews)?
As for r7000: no i was not the person you asked. To answer anyway, it is on a shelf. I tried recovering with TFTP, but no luck. I am too lazy and busy to try a serial cable. Can I donate it somewhere to see if it can be of use?
I can't really recommend any builds in between as there was far too much development going on (thanks BS).
Right now there's a ton of work being done on channel selection, httpd and web interface so keep an eye on the upcoming build threads for feedback if you don't want to be an early tester.

Hi, I am using Build 42410 and it is pretty stable, for my needs. The only issue is the slower than expected 2.4 G speeds (no matter what combo I tried). re. best setting is N only (no G or lower in my home), wpa2 aes, full 20, channel 1.
Anyway, my point is I saw a openwrt davidc502 build released today and he mentions he included driver version 10.3.8.0-20200206 included.
I went with dd-wrt because I used for years (broadcom) and I had familiarity, so I prefer not switching.
However, does anyone know if the new drivers are in the works with Brainslayer's priorities? Could they improve 2.4 g speeds or they are mainly geared around stability and 5G?
