Kernel: Linux 4.4.162 #4136 SMP Sat Nov 3 08:12:35 GMT 2018 armv7l
Previous: r37442
Mode/Status: Gateway / working
Reset: no
Issues/Errors: yes, see description below
---------
The wireless status page reports VHT80 (sometimes VHT80PS) mode as being used for the connection to my laptop. However the info above it only states channels "52 + 54" as actively used for wifi. Not sure but I'd expect 3 channels here.
Possibly linked issue: my laptop only connects with a 400 Mbps linkspeed (it connects at higher speeds such as 866 Mbps with other access points). Output of iwconfig in linux on the laptop only states "IEEE 802.11" so without AC which makes me suspect that wifi on the router is limited to the older N standard. 5 GHz wifi on the router is set to mixed mode. The 2.4 Ghz radio is turned off.

AC works for me quite good. Did you respected reg. domain etc. settings? and why Mixed? When using Mixed AC is served only when there are no other APs..

I meant wireless network mode. Reg domain is set to the correct country, both on the router and on the client. I can't use AC only mode for the access point because my phone doesn't support AC. I've had it at AC/N mixed before but that was causing connection issues on my phone so I reset it to the default which is mixed.
Also I doubt that what you are claiming about AC in mixed mode is true. At least with the R7000 users have reported that mixed mode is perfectly capable of providing true AC connections to AC clients while other non-AC clients are active.
There was only one way to really find out so I set the AP to AC only. The phone doesn't connect anymore so I assume that the AC only setting works correctly. The laptop still only connects at 400. I'd really like to hear how to debug this situation with a linux system (kubuntu).

nf_conntrack: automatic helper assignment is deprecated and it will be removed soon. Use the iptables CT target to attach helpers instead.
2. Ongoing syslog error messages:

Jan 1 00:00:04 DD-WRT kern.err kernel: nflash: found no supported devices
3. No 'new' issues to report, and I won't even bother with adding #2 unit for K2.6 testing, too much broken sh*t and open tickets to even waste the time with, but the most notable is that the BusyBox shell is broken because BusyBox in DD-WRT does not align 100% with the reported version upstream, among other things.
Anyone can test VAP issue is fixed or not (without fix script)?
Thanks.
