Further to https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=320614

I used the excellent guide by [user]egc[/user] and flashed my stock XR500 successfully. My router was up to date with DumaOS v2.3.2.134 and I used the web interface to load factory-to-ddwrt-r48865.img. From there I ssh'd in and did `nvram erase` and then upgraded to netgear-xr450-dd-wrt-webupgrade-r48865.bin.

Based on the notes in egc's guide, I set the cpu_governor to "ondemand", and set the up_threshold to 60.

When configuring my router I found that the wireless channel width VHT80+80 led to severe performance degradation, so I am leaving it at VHT80 (80MHz) which is giving me optimal speeds.

Big shout-out to [user]egc[/user] and to all the contributors to this excellent project!

No benefit of running VHT80+80 when clients do not support it.

Unnecessary to webupgrade unless a new build releases, so factory-to-ddwrt already full r48865.

Only maybe dual a partition router EA8500 if you choose previous build backup to be overwritten.
