I self-build all my images, so my versions are whatever happened to be on master that day.
I migrate this evening my install to 4.19 and i will tell you if it crash, it happen after 2 days uptime today
HW Offloading is broken with 4.19 kernel, i will reinstall a 4.14 kernel, my gateway is overloaded all the time with my gigabit connection
The NAT Passthrouth is at 390 Mbit/s with 4.19, 890 Mbit/s with 4.14
Currently HW offload is only available on MT7621 device, so you should only be enabling SW offload on C7V2.
I don't know why NAT passthrouth are so bad with OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r10307-629e6538a1 / LuCI Master (f138fc93)

So the master image has a performance problem with sw offloading as iperf show us here
I will rollback to a working image (except 5Ghz) of 19.07

So now i'm running master repo with 4.14 kernel and it's ok, so i will check in two day if 5Ghz crash or not
Just logged into console on an EA8300 on my bench and saw

Seeming more and more like a firmware/driver issue.
Hi
I'm deployed master firmware on my c7 since my last post: no 5ghz crashs since 2 days now, I hope it will continue.
The second archer c7 with previous 19.07 snapshot has crashed at 24h uptime precise, each day.
But I run with 4.14 Kernel because 4.19 won't offload with my archers c7
FWIW, I was one of the two linked instances, and Ive been having the problem on 4.14 but not ath79 bearing snapshots
The ath10k-ct works with latest version but has a memory leak, so I rollback to non ct and it work fine 300 Mbps real instead of 400 but stability of link and of the radio
To add to my prior mentioned 5ghz drops on pre 18.06.04 release snapshots, Ive now had my 2.4ghz radio go non responsive a few days after I loaded 18.06.4, but no 5ghz issues yet. Nothing at all in the logs.
Target ar71xx ?
If you migrated to ath79 from ar71xx the file path of wireless devices is not the same, you need to delete wireless conf in /etc/config for generate a new one by a reboot of router
Actually, I havent migrated. Had been usi g 18.x.x snapshots and 18.06.x only.
