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. 29440_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.

Kong,
The Only bug I had on the test build was the limited 5 GHZ channels. This is now fixed in this release. (30270)

I just ran my usual wireless range and throughput test. HP laptop in exact same area. I am sad to say the wireless range is gone. I hardly get a signal in my test spot. A d/l from my NAS ran at 7 kbs.
I then reflashed the TEST build from yesterday and the signal strength is back. A d/l from my NAS ran at 14.5 kbs.
I don't know what happened from the test build to the release build but the wireless signal went back to the old builds, not good.
I am back on the test build and my unit is flying again.

OK, then we use the regulation code from netgear which obviously provides better output but limits the usable channels. Will upload a new build soon, which also comes with updated kernel.
Kong,
Just d/led the 30300M dated 7/28 (you must have updated the files already) This version is back to strong signal strength. Whats even better about this one is the throughput is a little faster and the wireless signal is slightly stronger than the TEST release. NAS d/l to laptop in same test area is now at 17-18 Kbs! Wirless channels are again limited but who cares with this signal strength and throughput.
THANK YOU!
I would like to contribute to you for your efforts please PM me on how I can send you a donation.
I upgraded to this from a build back in march and everything seems smooth but I am having some temperature issues. I am doing alot of work on my R7000:
Network restrictions, VPN, Print server, about 10 clients and even another accesspoint is connected.
Even under 0.01 load my temps on the cpu is 73 celcius (my ambient temperature is 25 celcius).
Should I be worried? I have dissasembled the device but there seem to be some kind of shielding on the cpu. I'd thought I'd mount a heatsink on it but that is not possible with that shielding on.

70°C is absolutely normal for a R7000 and rather low for this soc, since the R7000 has one of the best cooling solutions among the broadcom units. If you have one of the later R7000 revisions it will be a few degrees cooler. The R6400 also runs at around 65.
Other units with the same soc operate at 80-90°. My EX6200 units have been running at 100°C for month without any issues. _________________ KONG PB's: http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/

I have R8000 router , and using regulatory domain as US. It only shows Auto for 5 G channels, i did erase nvram after flashing as well.
Change to lower lower or upper upper
Tried with LL and UU,
Change to LL , Saved and it still doesn't show any other than AUTO. _________________ Netgear R8000 ( DD-WRT v3.0-r30600M kongac (09/09/16))

I just flashed 30300 (from 29580). I was monitoring top for mem usage and saw a steady increase in memory usage. I went from around 14% used to around 40% usage in a short amount of time then the router locked up.
I rebooted the router and this time turned on both wireless (I usually have it off in my config as I don't use the wireless). Now my memory seems a bit steady around 16%
I'll continue to keep an eye on it. My usual setup is below:
-Wireless OFF
-DHCP server, with 20 static ip's, with dhcp-ignore=tag:!known
-UPNP enabled w/ clear port forwards at startup
-QOS HTB/FQ_CODEL, 5 Mac addresses prioritized.

I still have got some odd reboots, which may be related to the SOC overclocking. I can live with that.
The three radios on, working top notch. No complains here (American Samoa domain).
Wish list... Kong, I really miss the radios' temperature information, all I have ever got was CPU temperature information. It has never been there in any R8000 release.
