Just tried it and found it is still not recognizing the Realtek 8125 cards for which I now have two 4 port cards. _________________ HP Z240 SFF Workstation with I7-7700K, 32GB Ram, X540 two port, R8125B four port, AQC113 M2 slot, and two R8127 single port cards. Self compiled OpenWRT 24.10.4

3 R7000's (DDWRT build r62268) one used as a bridge
WRT54G-TM not in use
Maybe I just need to find an Intel 2.5gbpe 4 port card instead and fork out another $22 for a new license key on top of that. Since this Realtek 8125B issue has been ignored for over 4 months now.
I will keep using OpenWRT for now. I am building another X86 based router. This time I will be using an Optiplex 7060 with a core i7-8700 6 core processor, 32 GB ram, dual R8125 4 port cards, and a Qualcomm Fastconnect 7800(NCM865) wifi-7 card. The computer is overkill however these are SFF with only 2 PCI-e slots computers. The Optiplex 5050 I was using as a router, did not have a dedicated M2 wifi card slot and the 7060 does. I also have the Fastconnect 7800 in my laptop. I want to try out the 6 ghz band hence why I am adding the wifi card. OpenWRT is supposed to have drivers for the wifi and I added it to the new build I generated with my new tools. I will know later today when my Amazon shipment arrives if it works or not.
I may get a GL-iNet Flint 3 to use an an access point when the prices drop around Christmas unless this works and blows me away with the performance. _________________ HP Z240 SFF Workstation with I7-7700K, 32GB Ram, X540 two port, R8125B four port, AQC113 M2 slot, and two R8127 single port cards.

That will not be supported by either DDWRT or OpenWRT for some time to come, GL.iNet's software is however tolerable when used as a simple access point
As far as I know, the Intel i225-V / i226-V have some connection problems and disconnections, there are several hardware revisions of these chips, etc...
The i225-LM on the QNAP card is the “industrial version” of the i225... there are few known problems with it. _________________ Quickstart guides:

Consider just using a GL.iNet Flint 2 can be had for around $100 but even this is a bit overkill (pricewise) for a simple access point
Yes it is way overkill. I am just trying to figure out a way to use the 6 ghz wifi. I am not worried about the FLint being DDWRT supported. The OpenWRT based software that comes pre-installed is not bad to work with. They have a proprietary GUI that sits over the OpenWRT that is very easy. Not to mention I am good working with OpenWRT by itself.
I currently have a custom OpenWRT build on my X86 router due to the realtek 8125 issue that DDWRT is having. _________________ HP Z240 SFF Workstation with I7-7700K, 32GB Ram, X540 two port, R8125B four port, AQC113 M2 slot, and two R8127 single port cards. Self compiled OpenWRT 24.10.4

Update via Webgui did not end after the usual "a few seconds" timespan, but it took the whole timer to count down to 0.
After this the router took several minutes until reboot and ended in a situation were it rebooted every 20 seconds.
--> booted debian from usb, dd if=current.image file of=/dev/thenvme and back to business.
Luckily all settings still there.
PPPoE still did not start after this. Status --> WAN states disconnected, but nothing happens. You have to click "connect" there in order to connect.
This behaviour started with four builds before previous release.
You can reboot the router and wait but rp-pppoe.so gets not loaded and pppd isn't started before you click on disconnect.
iperf3 -c anyiperfserver -6 sports max upstream when used on the router.
iperf3 -c anyiperfserver -6 sports 1-5 Mbit/s upstream when used in my network.
This behaviour started unbeknownst to me, and I encountered it one or two releases back.
Possible this is related to me using nat66 in my network.
--> installing entware's ethtool and setting "rx-gro-list" to "off" for the LAN facing ETH port fixed this in previous and this release.
--> I will provide further details including iperf measurements in a future thread in advanced networking forum.
Will provide link here.

Regarding i225 chipset:
I still could puke... we had quite a few boards at work where this chip just did what it wanted.
Instead of 2.5GB Ethernet it sported 1-10 mbit until you fixed the data rate in driver to 1Gbit/s.
And still disconnects or "strange things" happened.
Exchanged those boards.
The newer i226 does its job though.
One of the reasons I bought this minipc back then from amazon for like 100€ including ram and nvme .

Good thing I didn't rush to buying the i225 card.
Does Brainslayer need money to buy a Realtek 8125B based NIC to test with to see the issue himself? How many USD does he need?
Looking at several reviews for all intel network 2.5 gbps cards kind of scared me off. My RLTK 8125B has been rock solid so I ended up just buying another one. Of course I am using OpenWRT now due to the driver issue in DDWRT. I do have a 4 port intel x540 on the way I ordered off of ebay before I found out they only support 10 gbps and 1 gbps only. It is coming from China. I will just relist it on ebay I guess.
I also would be willing to contribute to Brainslayer getting a 8125 to test if that is what it takes. _________________ HP Z240 SFF Workstation with I7-7700K, 32GB Ram, X540 two port, R8125B four port, AQC113 M2 slot, and two R8127 single port cards. Self compiled OpenWRT 24.10.4
