people already have ddwrt on the a3.. use tftp/dlink emergency rom..
and use the latest build, look below in red font for it..current builds have a very important fix to ath10k which is less memory usage, and dir-859 with it's 64mb goes out of memory easily, it should be better now _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S)

Just bought a new DIR-859 A3 with stock 1.01SG firmware. Updated with 1.02SG and tested speeds before I installed dd-wrt. On 5GHz, I was getting ~370 Mbps upload and ~460 Mbps download using iperf3 and smb to my wired server. Client laptop has an Intel 8265 built-in with latest drivers installed.
After installing dd-wrt r33772 std (11/16/17) and setting mode as AP, I couldn't go above 110 Mbps on 5GHz. I already set the ff as recommended in other threads:
1) Channel width: VHT80
2) Wireless Channel: 153
3) Extension Channel: UU (+6)

cause thats an invalid 5ghz config, 153 UU for vht80 cant exist, a valid example is 149 UU, & there is other valid configs within the 149-161 range. see the wifi settings link below for wifi settings guidance
Thank you! That Extension Channel list was very helpful. Setting the correct channel/extension combination I can now see 866.7 Mbps as the connection speed on the client laptop.
Using r33772 (11/16/17) my 5GHz throughput is now 290/410 Mbps upload/download, compared to 370/460 Mbps using the updated stock firmware, or 10-20% less.
Are there more tweaks to increase the throughput closer to stock? I'm comfortable building/compiling the firmware. Which settings/configs should I experiment with?

Be aware that dd-wrt firmware releases are in beta and may unstable and can potentially brick your router.
I have the DIR-859 A3 router and i would recommend you to flash build r40527 as its the most stable recent build in my experience.
If this is your first time flashing dd-wrt firmware over D-Link firmware then pick the factory-to-ddwrt.img and download it.
After your factory-to-ddwrt.img file is downloaded. Go to your D-Link router configuration page by typing the router ip in your browser. Default is 192.168.0.1 unless you changed it. Find the firmware upgrade tab and upload the factory-to-ddwrt.img file and proceed with the upgrade.
After you successfully upgraded to dd-wrt. The default router ip is 192.168.1.1.
