This build thread is for reporting successes and problem with loading this experimental test build.
This is important info for developers and users. Always state your hardware and SPECIFIC build
(e.g. 29193_NEWD-2_K2.6_mega-nv64k.bin). Do not ask questions about your specific router or how
to configure it in this thread; create your own thread to discuss any specific problems you have
or need resolved. Please also do not respond to such questions. This thread is to report info,
not to seek it. Posts that do not add to understanding this build will be deleted. Make sure you
know how to flash properly and the risk before using this build. It is important to adhere to
these requirements, to keep this thread from becoming impossibly long and useless.
If you don't know what build to flash and how to flash properly and have a means of recovery if
things should go wrong, do NOT flash this experimental test build.

Errors: The button for turning wifi on/off doesn't work, despite "SES/AOSS/EZ-SETUP/WPS Button" is set correctly. It's been like this for a couple of versions (didn't keep track, but I did perform one or two factory-defaults resets in the meantime).
Upgraded my R7000 from Kong 29165 to 29193 and this is the first time I've been able to achieve full WAN speed on a 4.4 kernel build! I ran the speed test a half dozen times and I'm getting full speed every time. On all previous K4.4 builds, I'd get about 1/3 of my full speed after running the speed test a few times. Average load now looks "normal" as well. Thanks BS!

As others have stated, the increased performance of this build is noticeable with my setup. Seems like a winner!

Everything is still fast on my R7000 but I'm getting a line in syslog exactly every 2 minutes, like this:

Status: Working as Router or AP
Reset: No
Errors: Client Bridge mode is still not working and causes the router to reboot after a period.
Not sure if this will ever be resolved... May return/sell the router as this is the primary purpose I need it for and the stock firmware does not support bridge as well. C'est la vie.
Sorry, well if you read the log well, you'll see a line indicating that ntp.main is the parent of those messages...and apparently after some period, it put either squelched the messages or put the process making them to sleep for 3600 seconds (so noted in the log). As I'm a LONG time out of the kernel, I don't know which it is.
Sorry to post "discussion" in the build test thread..but I was asked.
