Router/Version: Netgear X10 r9000
File: Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r41218 std (10/01/19)
Kernel: Linux 4.9.194 #387 SMP Mon Sep 30 02:27:24 CEST 2019 armv7l
Mode: AP
Status: Operational (with issues)
Upgraded from: r41174
Reset: No
NOTES: I didn't enable the 60Ghz radio so I don't know whether it would work or not. I don’t use QoS due to having a synchronous gigabit fiber connection.
EDITED TO ADD: The built-in speed test seems a bit underwhelming for testing high-speed connections. The test generally tops out in the mid to upper 200 MB/s range. I do get very close to actual speeds when using other speedtest sites.
ISSUES:
Issue #1: Privoxy @ ip 10.0.0.1:8118 returns error: "Maximum number of open connections reached."
Issue #2: SAMBA is not started automatically upon reboot. It is enabled but stopped. Need to 'apply' then 'save' 2 times to make it stick.
Issue #3: Syslog shows a lot of errors such as the following:
YELLOW Warnings:
Oct 1 08:24:27 r9000 daemon.warn dnsmasq[2352]: cache size greater than 10000 may cause performance issues, and is unlikely to be useful.
Oct 1 08:24:27 r9000 daemon.warn radvd[2082]: exiting, 1 sigterm(s) received

Update from r41212 via telnet.
Reset: yes, from telnet after reboot.
Status: Working OK as AP, HT40, NG-mixed.
Errors: (Same as with r41212)
1. WebGUI reset to factory (still) doesn't work. Only via telnet I can reset.
2. In Wireless->Advanced the new setting "QCA Q-Boost / TDMA" - I can't turn it on, it reverts back to disabled. Possibly not applicable to my router or is a WebGUI error. I would try to enable it via telnet but I don't know how.
3. Sometimes after a reset to factory settings the WebUI default theme is "blue" instead of "elegant". A second reset to factory after that turns it back to "elegant" (sometimes not). This happened a few times now in last weeks firmwares, including r41218. Not a problem really, I set the theme back to "elegant" and that's it. But I don't know what to make of this, might be something wrong with my router nvram?
Any reason for me to upgrade? I'm on BS 40900 still and have been up and stable for 26 days. _________________ Routing:.......Asus RT-AX88U (Asuswrt-Merlin 384.14) Switching:....Netgear GS608_V3 & GS605_V4, TrendNet TEG-S82G & TEG-S50G

I am looking to get an r7800 or ea8500 to add to my AP setup. With the latest BS builds are there any routing/throughput issues related to the CPU with the linux kernel? I read about how Kong builds were the go to for the IPQ8x chips due to it using the older kernel. Is that no longer the case and everything is well with these builds?

keep the cpu at max freq and its MOSTLY okay.. assuming u arent using qos at speeds over 100-150mbps, or at all (on those devices, some other device ahead of them is fine) _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S)

Additional testing has revealed very poor performance with DNSMasq enabled. Websites load slooooooly or not at all and streaming sites struggle to load or stream. Turning DNSMasq off returns performance to expected levels.
Sometimes DD-WRT pages need to be refreshed to fully load.
In addition to my earlier report regarding the error message from Privoxy (Maximum number of open connections reached), Privoxy does not appear to be functional at all. I am no longer receiving any blocked page notices for sites that I know used to be blocked.
