Router Model: Linksys EA6900 (XVortex CFE)
Firmware Version: Firmware by egc: DD-WRT v3.0-r59095M Community Build (01/10/25)
Kernel Version: Linux 4.4.302-rt232-st60 #1 SMP Fri Jan 10 13:56:15 CET 2025 armv7l
Upgraded from Firmware by egc: DD-WRT v3.0-r58976M Community Build (01/03/25) using patched build so GUI update is working, without a problem for this Xvortex CFE upgrade 😃
Build is available and has a number of goodies like ipset for Wireguard and SMCroute for multicast routing so that you can see your DLNA media server also from other subnets
Reset: No not this time.
Configuration: Default gateway mode, 2,4GHz wireless running with unbridged VAP, 5GHz running, some static leases and some port range forwarding.
Four WireGuard tunnels running, one Server, one site-to-site and two clients in Fail-over group to Mullvad (of course with PBR to allow the WG server to use the WAN).
OpenVPN client with PBR running.
DDNS (dynv6) working.
SMCRoute working
IPv6 working.
CTF&FA Enabled
NVRAM size 56K (NVRAM size should not be a problem with the Xvortex CFE)

Previous/Reset: r59045 / no
Mode/Status: Gateway, Open VPN Client / Up and running for 3:13 hours
CPU Temperature: CPU 55.2 °C / WL0 36.0 °C / WL1 0.0 °C (ambient temperature 16.0 °C)
Issues/Errors: no
As always, the Quantenna chip has its own quirks. This is a closed source chipset
There is no way to install a channel.
But you can disable 5.0 GHz. @mpgalaxy hack "If you set the radio mode to station bridge and disable the network mode, the 5GHz device will turn off completely even after reboot."
If your router's light turns red, don't worry. Internet connection is ok.
Thank you BS and gurus! _________________ Atheros

You should still be able to change that number, save, and reboot.
I tried it it will not change i will try again god willing.
Looks like this setting is broken on other routers as well with this build. _________________ - Linksys EA8500: I-Gateway, WAP/VAP 5ghz only. Features: WDS-AP, VLANs, Samba, WG, Entware - r59429

Netgear r7000. In my case it is correct: Maximum IP Connections: 32768
On the other hand, an ongoing problem (since I don't know which compilation) is the creation of a new peer in the Wireguard configuration.
When I click Make Peer Config, the router displays the configuration with a QR code but after a while it suddenly resets and after restarting there is no peer configuration. Once in a while it manages to create and download the configuration, but I don't know what it depends on anymore, whether it's a quick click on the Export/Apply button, or whether it's a stroke of luck.

Netgear r7000 I had to return to 1/8/25 because max ip connection is 4096 instead of 32768.
You can still set the max connection to 32768 or even 65536 but for now you have to use:
from the command line: nvram set ip_conntrack_max=32768 && nvram commit

After making the Peer config by clicking `Make Peer Config` you have to `Apply` otherwise the settings might be gone after a screen refresh
Furthermore it can also be a browser problem use e.g. FireFox in incognito/private mode without any extensions
It could also indicate that your nvram is full so better check that.

Thanks!!
A side note: I do have some bad blocks when formatting JFFS. Normally, it doesn't impact any operation. Only when I sometimes make changes and save settings, it somehow format the flash memory, and I lose all files on JFFS. Which I have to reinstall optware and a few app, it isn't a big deal.
Go to the Status/Router tab and it's at the bottom of the page.
This appears to have already been fixed in SVN for the upcoming release. _________________ - Linksys EA8500: I-Gateway, WAP/VAP 5ghz only. Features: WDS-AP, VLANs, Samba, WG, Entware - r59429
