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. 29308_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.

Feeling brave this morning I upgraded without seeing any reports here. Edit: Just noticed another brave soul reported before me!
Router: R6300V2
Firmware: 29308
Kernel: Linux 4.4.6 #460 SMP Mon Mar 21 06:41:17 CET 2016 armv7l
Status: Working as expected
Reset: No
Errors: None noted after 15 minutes
Everything has worked before works now. Specifically checked
Internet
Wifi (both radios)
miniDLNA
SSH
SAMBA
USB Storage (obvious since miniDLNA and SAMBA works)
FTP local network only don't allow external access
Router: RT-AC66U
Firmware: v3.0-r29308 giga (03/21/16)
Kernel: Linux 3.10.101 #11943 Mon Mar 21 12:05:55 CET 2016 mips

Previous: v3.0-r29264 giga (03-17-16)
Errors: Yes, preexisting.
QoS has a lot of issues.
1. HTB loses 40%+ bandwidth and must be limited ABOVE your download rate to function. (66mbps, set to 68mbps, get <30mbps!) (Already reported I think...?)
2. HSFC is does not function properly with any service priorities enabled. The more that are set, the greater the decrease in bandwidth. Setting about 10 rules results in losing around 10mbps.
3. Ping to router over wifi increases when downloading! Idle is constant 1ms. It jumps up 40-60ms for 1-2 seconds. Then it's around +15-25ms to the router until the download finishes. Ethernet has a constant 0ms ping to the router no matter what.
4. HSFC takes too long to kick in. (2-3 seconds) This results in a 40ms+ bufferbloat when downloads start (66mbps). It stacks with the previously mentioned wifi issue, making the situation worse and causing 100ms ping spikes.
5. Changing channel width from 20MHz to 40MHz/80MHz may result in the channels being stuck as "Auto". To unstick them, fiddle with upper/lower and setting it back to 20MHz.
6. WAN status may lie about what channels are in use, even stating that channel bonding is still active when it has been switched back to 20MHz.
Verdict: None of these issues are new to this build, ok to flash.

Wireless 2.4 & 5ghz and QoS(htb+fq_codel) works. Still Not getting full speeds on the wzr1750dhpd as a router but get full speeds when configured as a switch.
As a router i get the same results with QoS enabled or disabled. I also get the same results with or without the SPI firewall enabled or disabled.
I have done some comparisons with older versions from 2014 and these newer 2016 versions and i have noticed the DHPD status as Enabled in the 2014 versions but in the 2016 versions DHPD status = Enabled-Running. I don't know if this means something of importance or just a different way of showing DHPD is enabled. The has been no improvements for me from the BSr29264 and kongAC c29230 builds.
Thak you devs. and keep improving and refining, and don't let this fight against 3rd party firmware on routers deter you from this project.
Below is my routing table after firmware flash from BS r29264 where the routing table was the same after flashing from the KongAC v29230 build. Does this look proper because the first route looks weird to me, the one with 0.0.0.0 subnet.
