Great tip and resources here you should consider adding this info to the R7000 tips sticky slidermike. I'm curious to see if there's any wan improvements from offloading 1 or both bands to the second cpu.

Hmmmm, you guys do know, that the smp affinity stuff has been implemented in dd-wrt since we started providing public builds?

It is enabled, disabled depending how you configure the router, e.g. when enabling samba. And we do more then just assigning cpus.

You mean, what is the command i use for this, as start-up script?

thanks


yes

Code:
echo 2 > /proc/irq/163/smp_affinity && echo 2 > /proc/irq/169/smp_affinity


I see your CPU0 is 0. mine still has some low reading at CPU0, not zero. is that normal?


yep, thats what i use.

it was after reboot?

Kong,
thank you very much for letting us know.
No I was unaware but did assume there was some base settings.
It is still nice to be able to fine tune or adjust the settings yourself. As long as you realize its a trial & error process.

No not really.
At the time the other forum user posted the scripts he used, that was how he was happily running his r7000.
Feel free to add or change how you assign things.
The worst thing you can do is mess up the config & that can be reset to defaults easy enough. No real harm to the router.

Is there any way to assign an IRQ to both processors?

Has anyone tried to underclock the router, for example at 800 MHz?

Why underclock when it runs fine at stock speeds?

Good question!
I have only a downlink of about 8 Mbits.
I use the router as VPN client and only one radio (2,4 GHz) is in use. So the router idles more or less, the cpu load is quite low.

But the stock power supply is HUGE (3,5 amps and triple the volume of the supply of the E4200). I am struggling with the waf (women acceptance factor) and want to use a smaller power supply (maybe 12V; 1,5 amps).

So in short: I am interested in reducing the current consumption Smile Freaky, I know!
