[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.
Notes:
• CVE-2019-14899 VPN fix (applicability depends on VPN setup) and GUI toggle. 6920, 6928, 6931, 6932 (WIP 7040)
• In-kernel Samba has been implemented this year and default min/max versions have changed 6954, 6957, with WSD support.

Issues:
• There may be remaining issues for Samba (for example NTFS), with frequent updates.
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.

Dec 21 17:29:12 PANDA-WRT-1 daemon.err dnsmasq[3643]: failed to send packet: Network unreachable
These message started with r45036, not sure where to start looking. I flashed back a few versions (r44863) and reset from scratch because of the ath0/wlan0 changes and messages do not appear. But other than the logs filling up I have had no issues with performance (that I know of) with last two builds.
Other issue (it has been many previous builds) which not sure why, but when I try to copy a directory or multiple files from PC to USB attached hard drive on router they will not copy. If I select one file at a time and copy no issues. No errors showing in logs or from PC (Win10) it just seems to complete instantly and nothing shows up on USB drive. Annoying, but once I put anything on USB drive is does stream correctly to other connected devices. I just pull USB drive from router and connect directly to PC to copy the files over no problem.
Thanks BS, team, and Forum support for your great builds and help! _________________ Router/Version: Netgear R7800

GUI install over r45036
On the r45xxx builds, I'm finding that photos load slower in Firefox.
If I go back to r44786, the wifi signal on my Acer laptop is much weaker.
For me, r44980 seems to be the sweet spot. _________________ ------------------------------------

I think the RSSI issue is heavily influenced if it's 9980 or 9984 series.
For 9984 series routers (R7800 & R9000 mostly) the signal should be better on builds >=44980.
For 9980 series there are a few revisions of this chip, afaik, and it seems the C7v2-v4 have issues. I didn't notice any issues on the C7v5/A7v5 series for Rssi.
I haven't paid attention to the EA8500 to know for sure. _________________ FORUM RULES

After update router started continuously rebooting. Power cycle stopped the rebooting. After minor changes rebooted and rebooting problem started again. Did a reset at the router and reverted to r45036 12-18-2020. _________________ R7800 r53339 std (08/01/23)
Private network on bridge br0 = eth1 (vlan 1) + wlan0 + wlan1.
Guest network on bridge br1 = eth1.4 (vlan 4) + VAPs (wlan0.1 + wlan1.1) for IOT devices
(Roku's, Amazon Echos, smart switches, etc.) and guest.
Noob still finding my way.
swconfig dev switch0 set enable_vlan 1
swconfig dev switch0 vlan 1 set ports "1 2 6"
swconfig dev switch0 vlan 4 set ports "3 4 6t"
swconfig dev switch0 set apply
vconfig add eth1 4
brctl addif br1 eth1.4
ifconfig eth1.4 up
