If the speed is really important to you, why not try r53562 on your r7800 on the old kernel for now until you get a new router? _________________ Main Router: Dynalink WRX36, PPPoE, Gateway Mode, Network IPV4 - Isolated Vlan's.

No one can build you the bridge on which you, and only you, must cross the river of life!
Such a pity BS didn't include security patches with the old kernel for the r7800 (basically 2 builds 6.x and 4.9), a bit like the r8000 had 2 builds for Experimental Driver and DD-WRT, just with the r7800 being such a popular router. _________________ Main Router: Dynalink WRX36, PPPoE, Gateway Mode, Network IPV4 - Isolated Vlan's.

Or update to K4.19 which is an SLTS release until 2029
In my experience K6.X builds are slow and not always reliable, I administer R7800's on remote locations and need those to be stable and working.
Furthermore NSS is a dead end Qualcomm is no longer using it for their upcoming BE routers.
NSS was/is proprietary software made for older kernels for specific vendors, it was made available for the public but not very well supported by Qualcomm so difficult to get it running reliably on newer kernels. That was the reason it was never added to the linux kernel and not supported by OpenWRT. _________________ Routers:Netgear R7000, R6400v1, R6400v2, EA6900 (XvortexCFE), E2000, E1200v1, WRT54GS v1.
