[WARNING]: This thread is only for feedback on this beta release for developers and the community's benefit.
DO NOT flash this beta release unless you understand the risks involved and specific device recovery methods.
Avoid discussions! Create threads for questions, general problems or use search; this thread is not for support.
Please list router model & revision, operating & wireless mode(s) and exact filename/firmware image flashed.
Issues, observations, and/or workarounds reported:
• DNScrypt 1.95 can still be used in the GUI but v2 (not compatible) requires Golang and thus Entware. 6246
• WDS does not work on Broadcom ARM devices(only MIPS<->MIPS) & bridge modes on k4.4 devices may sometimes work in some configurations in certain builds but are not supported by the bcmdhd driver. Use client or repeater instead.
• VAPs not working at bootfixed for unbridged VAPs with r40564:40566.Workaround startup command:
sleep 10;stopservice nas;stopservice wlconf;startservice wlconf;startservice nas(there are a few alternatives, search).
• If start-up scripts do not work from USB add a delay (e.g. wait script or 'sleep 25').
• For Broadcom ARM devices missing 5GHz channels, via telnet/ssh: 'nvram set brcm_unlock=1' 'nvram commit' 'nvram reboot'
Important:
• If reporting issues provide applicable info: 'dmesg', 'cat /tmp/var/log/messages', syslog, serial output, strace, tcpdump etc.
• For firewall NAT or WAN issues provide 'iptables -vnL', 'iptables -t nat -vnL', 'iptables -t mangle -vnL' and the /tmp/.ipt file.
• Search existing SVN tickets before opening a new one. Before reporting, reset and manually setup (no nvram backup).
• Be sure to include operating and wireless modes (Gateway, AP, CB, etc.) along with relevant configuration information.

Router/Version:Asus RT-N18U (rev. A1)
Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r44944 std (12/08/20)
Kernel: Linux 4.4.247 #1507 Tue Dec 8 13:57:28 +07 2020 armv7l
Previous: DD-WRT v3.0-r44700 std (10/30/20)
Mode: WAN @ DHCP, Wireless @ AP
Status: Working (Not 24/7; Not using IPv6, VAP, VPN; Using NAS & USB; Unbound enabled)
Reset: NO reset during firmware upgrade but cold boot
Summary
Samba was broken this build. USB drives mounted correctly, and MiniDLNA was working fine.
There were still error messages about ksmbd and wsdd2.
Will skip this build in future!
BTW, use the `service` command to stop/start samba3. And you possibly could `rmmod ksmbd` afterwards.
The following commands might fix the smb.db error in the log?
/dev/sda1 on /tmp/mnt/sda1 type ext4 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,nobarrier,data=ordered,init_itable=0)
grep -E 'wsdd|smbd' /var/log/messages
Code:
Dec 9 00:43:30 RT-N18U local5.err ksmbd: [ksmbd-worker/3554]: ERROR: Can't open `/tmp/smb.db': No such file or directory

I am looking for test users who want to test build 44980.
This build has an upgraded and reworked WireGuard.
It has among other things:
• Interface with Advanced option to hide advanced options and make it cleaner.
• Set DNS server with routing via tunnel
• Use CIDR notation for address/netmask so it could also work IPv6 (not tested and no routing rules)
• Upgraded PBR so to also allow things like "iif" and "from to" and if we get Kernel 4.17 or later port routing
• Firewall settings the same as for OpenVPN i.e. no extra rules for normal client behaviour (the client can initiate outbound traffic by default) and accepting new inbound traffic for server'
• Added possibilities for route-up, route down scripts and Firewall mark settings
• Added detection if there is no WAN (like in a Wireless Access Point) to set default route via the LAN
• Instead of setting a fixed wait time (35 seconds) variable wait time waiting for time server to come up
• If a route up script is present wait for usb /jffs to be accessible with is-mounted.sh utility (usr/bin/is-mounted.sh)
If the test is successful some or all of these upgrades can be incorporated in the next public Beta build, but I need your help to test.
The build is an official build by BS and I have it running on Broadcom R6400 Linksys EA8500 and NetGear R7800, which runs fine (The Qualcomm Atheros have improved WiFi throughput,and samba is working)
Your WireGuard settings are retained except for the IP address and Net mask of the WG tunnel.
Old builds have e.g. 10.4.0.5 with netmask 255.255.255.0 New builds will use CIDR notation e.g. 10.4.0.5/24 (this as a preparation for IPv6, and normally your provider will also use this notation)
You have to refresh your browser cache with CTRL+F5 and enable the tunnel, but as said settings should be retained except for the IP address/netmask.

If you are missing a build let me know I will put it there although BS did not give me all builds.
Warning, although I have it running and it runs fine, it is an alpha build.
Open a new thread for this kind of invitation, not just in Broadcom forum, but in Advanced Networking, General Questions, Contributor Upload, Generic Questions & Announcement. DD-WRT Users are fairly interested in VPN.
