Fixes the issue in which the upload speed behind the R7800 can only reach one-third of the actual speed for some ISPs.
But you complain about the download speed of your TV
In addition, dd-wrt has relatively little in common with the stock firmware.
Yes, and as I said I don't know if these two issues are related.
But what I'm sure about is that in this update release Netgear has fixed the issue and DD-WRT still has it.
I don't know if experts can compare stock firmwares v.1.0.1.30 vs 1.0.2.04 to spot the fix.
If you use PPPoE then set the TCP congestion control to Cubic instead of Westwood in the "administration" tab...
and test the R7800 as the primary router
I'm a bit surprised that you wrote that the problem also occurs when the R7800 is configured as an AP (I assume you mean as WAP)
In this case, the router does exactly nothing, the data stream runs through the gigabit switch and not through the router.
My setup now is ISP modem -> Rax40v2 Netgear as the main router with PPPoE connection -> R7800 in Rouer mode with different subnet.
I changed the TCP congestion control to cubic and it didn't help.
For access point mode, I tried that with the old stock firmware (faulty one) by changing the mode to access point with the cable still inserted in the WAN port. And the speed problem stayed there.
For ddwrt and also for the stock firmwares sorry if I confused you but I didn't try the acces point mode method that includes disabling the DHCP and inserting the connection source cable in Lan port.

Well, the TCP congestion control only works if the R7800 is the PPPoE endpoint.
Otherwise the setting has no effect for forwarded traffic.
Ok, now I connected the R7800 ddwrt build r53544 directly to the ISP modem as the PPPoE endpoint, and connected the TV through lan port. The problem still persist in both westwood and cubic TCP congestion control.
Not only that, you also raised a question, based on a made-up scenario for your convenience:

So how does one know that you have not made up another scenario in this post 'to make your inquiry clear'?
This forum is frequented by volunteers. Treat them with respect to get better assistance. I'd suggest.
R7800 on 53544 works as it should ...all lan ports in use no problems with speed
if your problems persist:
-due to misconfiguration
-poor ISP speed, due to chained routers and double NAT
-poor TV speed performance...as those have a CPU that has to serve multiple services and ect.
-bad cabeling and loose connections
-last build running could mean last build after even ten years time...so last build is 53544...use it instead of the one recommended from router database
-bad compatibility between client & hardware...
explore those options...
Sorry but No.
Did you read my other reply ?
Not all devices are affected. My laptop doesn't have the issue just like your devices.
The issue, which affects some devices like my TV, is there on Netgear old firmwares and dd wrt recent firmwares (and may be old dd wrt firmwares), and Netgear has fixed it with update v1.0.2.04.
I want to respond specifically to this post. This has to be the best answer here in this thread made by alozaros but @moh_xbox just skimmed over it without considering the suggestions in alozaros post.

is basically pointing to the TV being a problem. I can tell you that as a WISP field tech that has had to help other customers over the course of 5 years with this particular problem, I have had to suggest customers to buy a roku player because their smart TVs, even after factory resetting them, can no longer run as well as they used to. And this kind of fix costs anywhere between 40 to 100 dollars depending on which roku you pick.
And its much cheaper than buying a whole new TV. less effort too.
Now back to @moh_xbox. Unfortunately, I am going to have to refer him to this thread.
I do not expect any kind answer from @moh_xbox. As a field tech who has been in this for about 10 years with both satellite TV services and Fixed wireless internet services, I expect the same kind of negative response that I have gotten in the customer service part of my job.
@moh_xbox , I hope you find the answer to your problem. And if I may offer my own suggestion, stick to having one router taking care of all the routing. _________________ For people who are new to the dd-wrt forums >> http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#rtfm

This forum is frequented by volunteers. Treat them with respect to get better assistance. I'd suggest.
The number of hard resets and soft resets and reflashing stock firmwares back and forth to check that issue is countless, so no previous setting is there to affect the current issue.
And for the QoS related topic, my inquiry was based on my actual setup, I do not know why do you think I was making up things ?
and what is wrong with calling my Galaxy S23 (Phone 1) and my brother's Xiaomi 11T Pro as (Phone 2) to clarify my inquiry ?
I was really worried about ethernet priorities within the QoS, and I think I answered your questions clearly.
I am here seeking help from your kind persons, if I can solve everything why would I post my issues.

I am sorry that you feel you are disrespected but I do not understand where did I disrespect you or other people ?
Anyway, if you followed the replies here, you will find that I never made any scenarios here and I am really testing any suggestion given by the kind persons here. When I make a scenario to clarify things I will say it just like in the other post.

Thank you for answering,
I simply disagreed with Alozaros because every time I flash the Netgear stock firmware V1.0.2.xx, the issue disappears and my TV gets full 70 Mbps. And every time I flash DD-WRT or stock firmwares released prior to V1.0.2.xx, the issue comes back.
So how is it a TV CPU problem?
I know that TV CPUs are cheap and slow, but if Netgear stock firmware can deliver my line's full 70 Mbps speed with their upgraded firmwares 1.0.2.xx, then what is wrong with me trying to make DD-WRT deliver the same speed?

And if I may offer my own suggestion, stick to having one router taking care of all the routing.
This is a good suggestion. For now, the R7800 is in my room and the Rax40v2 in the rest of the house for my family.
The Rax40v2 is the main router, but I feel that I will not benefit from the potential of the R7800 if I just use it as an access point while using the less powerful Rax40v2 for routing.
And to avoid double nat, I fixed an IP address for the R7800 MAC and put it in the DMZ.
Also, I do not want the R7800 to be the main router in the house for now for two reasons:
1- It has that speed issue which is affecting my TV and may affect other devices.
2- I often mess with the R7800, so a lot of restarts and disconnections happen, which would disconnect the internet for my family's Rax40v2, and then they would kick me out of the house lol.
I seen your video when the ethernet cable is connected the r7800 port led is orange for 100mbps that maybe the problem. Do you have a gigabit switch to put between the router's lan port and device to test? _________________ Home Network on Telus 1Gb PureFibre - 10GbE Copper Backbone

That's the TV port, it is 100mbps
I now checked the cable in the laptop, 1Gbps giving full 70 mbps dl/ul (attached)
