I have been using kongat build 39000M since March 14, with 21 days uptime on both R7800s. Any improvements with this build? TIA!

That's been the best build for me, yet, with regard to uptime. I had 30-something days uptime on it and no known issues at that point. Prior R7800 builds had frequent reboots/crashes (I don't know enough to figure out why). The build in this thread didn't make it a day before crashing/rebooting on its own, so I reverted to 39000M.

I found the perfect build for my R7000 and had to stick with it because others (for 2+ years) had wifi disconnects or wifi speed slowdowns over time. With my R7800, the perfect build is now one which has good uptime, and that's only been 39000M so far.

Currently I have over 2 days (over 50 hours) uptime and the logs look good too with Kongat Build 39345M. I will report back if I run into issues with this build. Yes, 39000M had a good run and will be my new fall back for the R7800s.

Hi All,

I wonder if esata support was added for R7500v2 in this build. Can anyone confirm?

Remember, last time Kong wrote in "...r39000M" thread:
"Just forgot to add the change to the 4.9 dts for ea8500/7500 since I always use the R7800 for tests this slipped through"

How did you do that test, MrJCD?

My DSLReports speed test gets stuck at evaluating the results, as shown in the screen picture. It's been like that for some days at least.
I tried the speed test in both Firefox and Chromium in Linux Mint, latest versions & all updated.

ArjenR49, yeahuh it don't ever finish completly. Been screwed for a while.
I've tried many different browsers on several different OS.
This is actually using Chromium Version 73.0.3683.75 on Debian / Buster.

This 'bout all it will finish at... but wait little & just click 'Results + Share' button and....


should get/see somewhat results Smile

I am trying to reduce the bufferbloat even further. I read setting txqueuelen to 2 might help. I am trying to do this and was curious whether I need to do it for ath0 and ath1 interfaces as well?

In the Administration tab and in the Commands textbox:

ifconfig eth0 txqueuelen 2

ifconfig eth1 txqueuelen 2

And, "Save Startup" to run whenever it boots.

My question is do I have to set "txqueuelen 2" for ath0 and ath1 interfaces too or just eth0/eth1 is fine? Most of my devices are connected to wifi (ath0 and ath1).

EDIT: Tried "txqueuelen 2" on all the 4 interfaces (eth0/1 and ath0/1) and don't see much difference. The bandwidth was more or less the same and latency was a little bit off. 14 ms on the default 1000 vs 15 ms on 2. So, not much difference!

Is this still available in a repo somewhere? I saw the 4/19 release but I'm hesitant to update to that version so soon.
