Archer D7 support

Hey, I just wanna say I also ordered a bunch of D7b and hope it will also work out with turning it into a C7v2. There are good sfe-images from @gwlim at his github.com and they work pretty well on my D7. I'm able to achieve around 600 Mbit/s WAN <-> LAN and Wifi <-> WAN around 400 Mbit/s messured with Iperf3 with 4 parallel streams to a Gigabit server.

iperf Done.


Messured with my Samsung S7. Compared to a FritzBox 7490 (which shot use the same qca9880 chipset of Atheros/Qualcomm) is lower. With 7490 I get around 520 Mbit/s with newest labor firmware.

I hope we can still achieve the same performance. The CPU of D7 should habe faster clock than FritzBox 7490.

My result with other images with active nf-offload with D7 were unfortunately only maximum 300 Mbit/s. It's more at 200 Mbit/s in real life.

I hope we can create a new topic together to develop a mesh network with these quite cheap and performance devices. I wanna achieve to realize wireless roaming to run around the house and get seemless video calls and streaming when I need to change access points.

I think I need 3 to 4 devices and I'm able to connect them via gigabit cat5e.

Unfortunately another topic is to configure the devicea correctly then for IPTV-DE (MangentaTV) with Igmpv3 snooping and correct igmpv3 signaling...

To be honest I think this problem and wish to solve it have a lot of people who don't wanna just spend a lot of money to AVM products.

I mean I can't tell exactly the power consumption which could be also a big issue compared to Fritz Repeater 2400.

But I hope we can solve these issues as a community! One big step will be the power cut of dsl part. @blinkstar88 would you please refer or explain how to shut down these parts or is it already possible via software?
