I will move your post to the appropriate Broadcom forum

See the forum guidelines with helpful pointers about how to research your router, where and what firmware to download, where and how to post and many other helpful tips:

In the latest build thread a user reports no problems with his R8000: https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=333602

You can always PM (send a Personal message) to that user

PM discussions don't promote public discussion which is valuable to the community at large, if they take the time to read and search the forum.

Well, sometimes when I see a person/new member didin't tried at all to find at least some answers (there are plenty of them on forum), didn't contributed in any way (helped someone else, wrote some topic here on the forum, wrote some ddwrt wiki tutorial, tested any build and gave some thoughts) I just don't have any will to help. I did it before but just got tired... Always the same... But let try to help this user and do his homework:

what features will ddwrt support ?

it depends of RAM of unit. On r8000 there is enough RAM but some options depends on unit board, chipset itd... there is this demo https://forum.dd-wrt.com/demo/index-2.html so take a look.

does it supoort triband ?



ofcourse. but about wifi. There are 2 types of build experimental with brcmfmac driver and "regular" build with dhd driver... ddwrt has some kind of agreement with broadcom and gets dhd blobs from broadcom and then community do the testing...


does it support (2.4 ghz repeater with different name? and dhcp from source?)

does it support (5 ghz repeater with different name? and dhcp from source?)

not sure what you mean but it supports different kind of repeaters(station+AP is repeater)... +dhd build of arm broadcom has some kind of new repeater imported from tomato


does it support transfer between the dual 5 ghz ?
can you elaborate this? I don't get it...

what max speed from (usb 3.0, 2.0) on 5 ghz ??
usb speed has nothing to do with wifi speed... usb read/write depends on filesystem and CPU freq and RAM... wifi speed depends on wifi conditions like number on stations and aps on selected channel...

I had 1300Mbps on info page when routers are near each other but couldn't get above 550Mbps transfer... about USB and samba... on exFAT I got 10MB/s

btw @ kernel your comment didn't contributed in anyway... I don't understand why you have to comment every time...

You answered your own question in your opening statement(s) Wink And if you've really been paying much attention, I've been rather quiet. I can go back to being hyper-focused interactive if it means that much to you Rolling Eyes

You will likely lose full duplex performance on the WAN interface using dd-wrt.

Something I'd like to chime in with, is that messages in the forums are still not going to be the best, as they do not help a lot if the information is not easily collected and cataloged for future use.

With the way the world is going, everyone wants an answer very quickly and easily. As much as I love DD-WRT and every effort everyone puts into it, the answers are not easily found. I spend hours upon hours searching for stuff that I end up just giving up. If the question is something easily answered within an organized document posted, then I get that people should stop asking.

As a suggestion, maybe where builds are concerned, all responses per model type get tagged and placed into heir own section. (IE: Build numbers and also broken down or sort able by models tested) Of course, this means being able to cpture the data and have required fields in a feedback doc. Plain text, being noted differently by every user, does not make it easy to capture right now.

You must understand that people here are voluntary. People has jobs, families etc. It will sound roude but what have you done for this community? You have good ideas, so why don't you start from yourself and make those documents you are talking about. Gather all infos about r8000 and post it in a single post... that is a good start, and then people will follow and contribute too... and everyone will benefit...
sounds good, but reality is much different...

^^^^^^^^^^ Agreed.

The suggestion is something that I was working on, but the problem is, people want a single thread for a device, and as well-documented throughout this entire forum, that turns into an up to 200-page cesspool of repetitive discussion because people don't want to search or take the time to read because they're lazy and threads that large are cumbersome. That gets old, tiring, and makes finding information much more difficult for new users. I defer to the Forum Rules and Guidelines as well as the README-FAQ Announcements and stickies. There are plenty of times, I have shotgunned fish hooks in my posts (read: linked forum threads and wikis that people seemed to be completely oblivious to) with mixed results. Personally, I can't just magically see what is on your desk and I can't just take down my network to fix your problem. Re-deference to FR&G, stickies, and Announcements.

So bad for them...you can also blame all the smart phones/tablets and greasy screens industry ... or the new world order that means stupid people with "screen in da hand" and manifesting i know everything and i know how to work with google...and im better than you race...but sadly with poor knowledge and experience...than those head bang and start b***ing if the stuff they search is not in the bloody google...and they have to put more effort in a deep search and understanding...very likely those bail out quickly...(sadly to say 20-30% of my colleges at work, mostly young people)..

You didn't search deeply enough...or your effort was not enough..or you just dont know how to search...or may be things that you searched for ware not present...at all...
If you couldn't find something for hours and hours...your best bet would ve been, open a new thread,
post what you need, what effort you paid, what are your findings, what your try'n err yielded (testing) and ect. Than there would be more helpful thread, than just asking again the same thing that has been answered many times...and another of the same threads...again..and again..

no hard feelings or strings attached... Laughing Laughing

For sure, I am willing to help out. I have reached out to egc to see where I can offer some time of value. While my idea in theory sounds good to me, as KP mentions, there's some effort here already and I do not want to reinvent the wheel, so to speak, to find out that mt theory or effort cannot fit for some unknown reason. I just don't have all the facts to say that my suggestion would even work, or if DD-WRT has already tried something similar which faced limitations or failed because lazy is not the only factor, but rather even having a structure like this, some people still don't do things right to make it properly.

As for all the responses, I agree with you guys, but at the same time, doesn't DD-WRT want to reach more people, no matter how lazy there are, they may donate, right?

A huge problem with dd-wrt is that the wiki is locked down and pats of the site are broken.
Some of the info in the wiki is literally over a decade out of date and doesn't work anymore.

We need more volunteers, a site revamp, and documentation that is actually up-to-date.
