[WARNING]: This thread is only for feedback on this beta release for developers and the community's benefit.
DO NOT flash this beta release unless you understand the risks involved and specific device recovery methods.
Avoid discussions! Create threads for questions, general problems or use search; this thread is not for support.
Please list router model & revision, operating & wireless mode(s) and exact filename/firmware image flashed.
Notes:
• r41664 or later for SFE NAT (k3.2+), KRACK (k24+), PBR+SFE, CAKE & FQ_CODEL_FAST (reset!), GTK Rekey timer fixes.
• Reset button was broken at 40571, then fixed in build r40750.
• Experimental build option for Broadcom 8MB+ K2.x devices (limited currently): broadcom_K3X_mipsel32r1
• CVE-2019-14899 VPN fix (applicability depends on VPN setup) and GUI toggle. 6920, 6928, 6931, 6932 (WIP 7040)
• In-kernel Samba has been implemented this year and default min/max versions have changed 6954, 6957, with WSD support.
• Broadcom MIPS devices are now on kernel 4.4. N66U/AC66U half memory is fully resolved.
• Local DNS option removed from Services->DNSMasq in changesets 43080 and 43081; ref: #7092
• DHCP and DNS help (English) updated in 43083; ref: #7091
• WAN lease time approaching zero bug on WRT54* devices fixed in 43191; ref: #6456
• Images for WNR3500Lv2 (BRCM NAND flash crash bug) fixed in 43219 (43217); ref: #7098
• WireGuard 1.0.20200908 & Tools: PBR, Kill Switch, Inbound Firewall, Naming of Peers, Status, Key, Guides. Thanks BS & egc!
Issues, observations, and/or workarounds reported:
• DNScrypt 1.95 can still be used in the GUI but v2 (not compatible) requires Golang and thus Entware. 6246
• WDS does not work on Broadcom ARM devices(only MIPS<->MIPS) & bridge modes on k4.4 devices may sometimes work in some configurations in certain builds but are not supported by the bcmdhd driver. Use client or repeater instead.
• VAPs not working at bootfixed for unbridged VAPs with r40564:40566.Workaround startup command:
sleep 10;stopservice nas;stopservice wlconf;startservice wlconf;startservice nas(there are a few alternatives, search).
• If start-up scripts do not work from USB add a delay (e.g. wait script or 'sleep 25').
• For Broadcom ARM devices missing 5GHz channels, via telnet/ssh: 'nvram set brcm_unlock=1' 'nvram commit' 'nvram reboot'
Important:
• If reporting issues provide applicable info: 'dmesg', 'cat /tmp/var/log/messages', syslog, serial output, strace, tcpdump etc.
• For firewall NAT or WAN issues provide 'iptables -vnL', 'iptables -t nat -vnL', 'iptables -t mangle -vnL' and the /tmp/.ipt file.
• Search existing SVN tickets before opening a new one. Before reporting, reset and manually setup (no nvram backup).
• Be sure to include operating and wireless modes (Gateway, AP, CB, etc.) along with relevant configuration information.

Router: Netgear R8000
Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r44467 std (09/24/20)
Kernel: Linux 4.4.236 #1139 SMP Thu Sep 24 11:04:17 +04 2020 armv7l
Temperatures: CPU 56.4 °C / WL0 44.0 °C / WL1 45.5 °C / WL2 42.5 °C
Previous/Reset: r44340 experimental driver (09/10/20) / yes
Mode/Status: Gateway, up for 35 min
Issues/Errors: looks good so far, even the sonos speaker that couldn't connect for weeks is back up
Whether it was the new firmware, or resetting and reconfiguring, it is great this is working. Fingers crossed for stability and robustness.
Working fine on iOS 12/13 for years but after upgraded iPhone to IOS 14.0, usb tethering iPhone not working.
I plug the iPhone(iOS14) in the laptop and desktop computer(windows 10/macOS Catalina) and the USB tethering works, but it doesn’t work on my TP-Link Archer C8 V1.
Router/Version: Netgear R7000
Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r44467 std (09/24/20)
Kernel: Linux 4.4.236 #1134 SMP
Mode/Status: AP
Reset: Yes
Issues/Errors: Frequent Wireless Dropouts While Streaming
I switched over from Tomato to the 8/15/20 build and everything has been working great. Decide to try to update to one of the September builds and when streaming shows from my Plex server to my nVidia Shield TV (2019), the shows frequently just stop playing. They don't freeze, it's as if they reached the end of the file. This has happened with the 9/10/20, 9/18/20, and 9/24/20 builds and with multiple different files each time.
My Plex server is being run from my Synology NAS, which is wired directly to my R7000, and then my Shield connects wirelessly (via 5GHz) to the R7000. So everything is within my LAN.
The files being streamed are 1080p video with AC3 Stereo audio. Total file size is about 1GB for a 40min episode, so bandwidth shouldn't be an issue, and again, the 8/15/20 build works flawlessly. Usually it takes 25-30 minutes before the issue presents itself, but with the 9/24/20 build I had it happen after about 30 minutes and then 2-3 more times within the next six minutes worth of the episode.
I tried flashing the 9/24/20 build and then doing a factory reset, manually entering in the settings instead of using a backup. No change in symptoms. Had similar experiences with the 9/10/20 and 9/18/20 builds.
I have also tried rebooting the router and the Shield which does not resolve the issue.
Initially posted that in the wrong 44467 thread (for Atheros). The WRT54Gv5 stabilized on 44467. httpd does not want to stay running, but wireless & routing seems to work fine. 44467 is not a worse micro build than 44406. The real problem with the WRT54Gv5 is the 8MB of RAM, which is probably why httpd keeps dying.
Now testing this micro build on a WRT54G2v1, which has 16MB RAM, but I was struggling with latency issues on this router before. Will report back...
Updated: Runs fine, except for latency issues (related to this hardware platform) that affect the usability of RDP. Otherwise seems like a good build since changeset 44407 for micro got rolled up into this build.
