all worky good
is the cpu clock supposed to be something else other than 1700mhz for the r9000? Mine says 1700mhz... it always has...
---nvm---
I just updated from the 11/24/2020 brainslayer firmware for the R9000 and yes, now mine says 2000mhz....
New question:
Did my R9000 just get a 300mhz cpu clock OC boost? If so, that is awesome!!
I'm getting sporadic reboots with 2GHz clock. that's why i set it back to 1.7GHz. Apparently i'm the only one with this issue R9000' CPU can be overclocked since a couple of releases. _________________ Netgear R9000

i changed back the default clock to 1700 in current internal build since you had problems with it. the increase of the clock was the result of some tests with my unit. i was even able to increase it to 2300. but i do just allow 2000 so far. _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?

yes. since 2 - 3 weeks the device was running with 2000 mhz. you can change the clock speed at the administration->management tab. i now reverted the default speed back to 1700. but you still can set manually a higher clock speed _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?

Firmware Version: DD-WRT v3.0-r45493 std (01/19/21)
Kernel Version: Linux 4.9.253 #1085 SMP Sun Jan 31 04:30:36 +07 2021 armv7l
Upgraded from: DD-WRT v3.0-r45493 std (01/19/21)
Reset: No, not this time
Status: Up and running for 4 hours , basic setup as Gateway, static leases, 2,4GHz, 5Ghz, USB storage NAS working, OpenVPN client to Keepsolid with PBR working, OpenVPN Server with site-to-site setup and local DNS working. WireGuard client to Keepsolid working, WireGuard client for site-to-site setup to own server working
Errors: Yes, since we switched to the CT drivers my old Samsung tablet (which is AC/N capable) will not connect with 2.4 Ghz N/G Mixed.
It can connect on Mixed setting.
Before this build (using the CT driver) it connected at B speed and throughput was only a few Mb/s, however there is progress, it now connects at G speed and throughput is about 30 Mb/s.
Kvalo driver let me connect at N speed but with this build it is workable at Mixed setting so much better.

Thanks BS!
ahm this is no ct driver. its still the same ath10k with own modifications and the firmware is not based on CT. but me and ben share our patches and enhancements. for qca988x is a complete own firmware based on the qca mainline sources with modifications i contributed back to CT. (mainly optimizations). for the QCA99XX based firmwares, its based on CT, but has also own enhancements and optimizations i was contributing back to CT. but this all has nothing todo with the driver.
what else. ack timing settings, 5 and 10 mhz support, auto ack timing. thats all i did. and some end devices do indeen require legacy fallback support to connect. in G/Mixed settings you may have one problem. broadcast frames etc are still transmitted with B rates. this is part of the standard. so for such shit clients which cannot handle the situation where no B rates are allowed, you will get a problem with dhcp _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?

WebUI upgrade over r45592
NO reset
For some reason the WebUI works fine via wired LAN and via 5ghz, but will only partially load via 2.4ghz... is it just me? Same problem with r45592, but worked fine with r44786.
I also run YAMon3.4.7 and it behaves the same as the WebUI. In addition YAMon will not autostart on bootup, I have to go back an run the script manually. pretty sure it didn't autostart in r44786 either, and that was the first version of DD-WRT I've run on the EA8500.
R9000' CPU can be overclocked since a couple of releases.
