Hi. I followed the original thread and I was able to successfully overclock using gwlim’s sfe build. I’m getting horrible clock drift at 1000 MHz. Anyone ever find a solution?
Which bootloader did you use?
Breed. I don’t know another way to do it.
Post screenshot of breed overclock settings.
I think there is some parameters to tweak for clock only
I think it's like this right now:
I don't have a chance to take the router down tonight but I will see if I can do so this weekend. Also DDR2 CAS is at 5.
Is there any specific screen?
Not sure what is the default values but you should only try to increase the NINT and not touch anything else
Could it be the AHB frequency setting?
For some reason, I redid the settings and it seems to be working better after a wipe of the config. I have no idea why. Maybe the overclock just isn't as stable on my particular router?
Gwlim, I see in prior posts you seem to have included an overclock patch. Did you ever set up an overclock using a different bootloader? I wonder if this bootloader is squirrely or something and messing with my stability?
The patch was meant for AR7161, it worked for those
Ah ok thanks. I will try my settings and see how I do. Thank you.
Ok, got a question. You did an archer c7 v4 overclock: Overclocking Router Devices
Did you use Breed? In that thread in surrounding posts, @psyborg said Breed is a bad bootloader and induces clock drift? Maybe that's why?
I'm wondering if it's the kernel's clock timing interacting with it?
I compiled from TP-Link GPL sources as breed does not support QCA9563 for that Archer C7v4
Thank you. I still think there is a bug either in Breed, the kernel, the firmware or something. But I set my clocks to just under 1000 (940 or 960) for cpu and it seems to run fine.
Uptime is 15 days and clock is within the minute! And my WiFi has been stable and I can see in Ookla Speedtest that it wants to do over 350 Mbps down when I test. I don’t have the setup for iPerf but if I did I would.
aybe you can try this
Hello, I own a C7 V2 and I run also on 960 mhz, I added a heatsink trough and had a other power adapter that was 2.5A vs 2.0.

I'm using the C7 as AP Only 
Not bad throughout. And I may try the uboot. Thanks for the tip.
So far Breed at 960 seems stable. I get better performance and am limited by the WiFi signal at this point so I will leave it
Thank you for the help!
Thats odd to me... I recall getting speeds of 300-350, limited by my 300mbit cable connection, routing WAN - LAN... with a stock v2. Even 260-280mbit thru the wifi...
To messure the real speed I think it's better to connect two clients, on on lan and one on WAN, im not sure if running iperf3 on router could lead to less results.
My lowly tests were done with DSLSpeedtest, no iperf3, nothing running on the router.
Ah ok well, depends on firmware then however 280mb's wifi seems about the max (CPU Limited) i can get, i have 500 mb's isp atm.
