[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.


Downloads: (DD-WRT website) HTTPS & FTP (try another if a link does not work)

CLI Flash: 'cd /tmp' then 'wget {file URL}' (or 'curl -k {file URL} -o {file}') with http (not https) or ftp. Then 'write {file} linux'.

Repository: Trac SVN changelog since last build r45420 (GitHub mirror)

Notes:
OpenVPN Version 2.5.0 and Guides
WireGuard 1.0.20200908, Tools: Guides, PBR, Kill Switch, Inbound Firewall, Naming of Peers, Status, Key. Thanks BS & egc!
• CVE-2019-14899 VPN fix (applicability depends on VPN setup) and GUI toggle since r41813.
In-kernel Samba was implemented over the past year and default min/max versions changed, with WSD support.
Experimental build option for Broadcom 8MB+ K2.x devices (limited currently): broadcom_K3X_mipsel32r1
• Broadcom MIPS devices are now on kernel 4.4. N66U/AC66U half memory is fully resolved.
• 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

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 boot fixed 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.

noticed the TurboQAM option is missing


This is now by design, HT20 won't reveal QAM-256 the way I understand all of the recent commits made.

I believe you have to us HT40 mode and then QAM-256 will show up. Please test and report back.

Otherwise, BS may have missed this chipset in his code; only other hunch I have at this time.

Sent BS an email...

I know he was massively re-writing code for the whole ht/vht and qam portion...not sure if he's done with that yet or not... it's possible he missed the bcm chips with qam 256 support...

https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/Broadcom
ctrl+F 256-qam on that page shows 10 possible chipsets...though did not see if any are duplicates...

and your pixel will never connect at HT40 on 2.4ghz... this is a hard coded limit which is outlined in the wifi wiki's.

thanks for your replies and info

after the reset my phone performs really poorly when 2.4 id set to 40width *phone was vht20. and a roku wont connect to it

i don't think 2.4 GHz 40 width works right on the r7000p

i'm not sure the TurboQAM worked properly either

maybe that's why its not there

again, see the wifi wiki's about HT40 on 2.4ghz...

as far as qam on ht20, it only provides a very minor bump in speed on 1x1 and 2x2 stream radios... so very little advantage to using it, though on a 1x1 stream any help you can get... pixel is 2x2:2 stream.

on HT40
i did get the roku to connect but it was ht20 and the best speed i could get was 9 mbs. usually about 60 mbs

* i know its very possible im missing something. apologizes if so lol

** my chip is BCM4360
https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/Netgear_R7000P

*** i noticed on that site 5 GHz is the first radio and 2.4 GHz next

on ddwrt its the opposite

Upgrade: via web UI, TurboQAM missing on Asus AC3200 and the issue I've detailed below.
Reset: no

-------------------------------------------------

I still have the same issue as mentioned before.
Allowed IP's in VPN still has a limit of 1024 chars.

This restricts me from using the UI to fill my allowed IPs range and instead I have to manually do this on the router.

I'm basically compensating for the lack of a "Blocked IPs" or "Non-Allowed IPs" to allow both PBR and DBR tunnels to work hand in hand.

This is basically so: "For this one machine route all traffic through this VPN bar for this one website" and a separate DBR tunnel is in place for that one website for not only the PBR machine but the whole network.

I have a python script to print CIDR addresses covering the whole range of IPs for the whole internet minus the IPs for the DBR websites and the DBR websites defined DNSs. It comes to a total of 1214 chars which is quite small considering what it is.

Because of the arbitrary limit in the router GUI of 1024 I manually have to set it on the router and in a start-up script which is quite annoying.

I can also confirm TurboQAM option missing on Asus AC68u model as well.

Web interface updated from build r45420 1/13/21.

Because that is a CPU, not a wireless chip...

Oops! Sorry, I read the wrong thing. Mine has a BCM4360 and it's on the list if that helps.
