Thanks for clearing that up. Is there anything unusual to be aware of if I switch back and forth between the "old" ath10k and the -ct builds of master to test them both out?
The same config works for all of them. (at least for me)
And simple sysupgrade with keeping settings works ok, (although for some upgrades/downgrades you may need force the image or transfer it via SCP may be needed, as the device board names in DTS have changed.)
Hello everyone and especially @hnyman,
I am completly new to openWRT.
I just bought a R7800 and flashed the R7800-master-r10443-ea4e1dac71-20190708-1054-sqfs-factory.img. I cant get the wifi working and am wondering where the correct place would be to ask questions which are quite vague in nature due to my lack of experience with this topic.
(I dont know which logs to supply and generally which information is best given for discribing my problem accurately)
I would be very grateful for a push in the right direction.
Thank you in advance!

I tried r10825-2ceee0e023-20190818 ("old") and it's very unstable. It locks up between minutes and hours, I have to do a hard power cycle. Pings to the AP are all over the place and when I ssh in it's very laggy as if there's high packet loss.
[ 255.816870] ath10k_warn: 14 callbacks suppressed
[ 255.816877] ath10k_pci 0001:01:00.0: SWBA overrun on vdev 1, skipped old beacon

Last usable build for me remains r10443-ea4e1dac71 ("old"), but even that is not without issues for me, it still reboots once in a while, but at least it reboots instead of having hard lockups.
how does /etc/config/wireless look like? could you post it here? (just delete the password lines)
i'm curious if you are running something special or not.
I'd be so happy if it were as simple as some setting and I could have a stable AP.
I run it in AP mode only (almost all services disabled), but I need 3 VLANs hence the different network values. 2 VLANs use eth0 and 1 uses eth1 if that makes a difference in terms of stability. Let me know if the switch/VLAN config is important and I can post that too.
Installed your 08/29 build (R7800-owrt1907-r10352) on my R7800 and looks pretty good. Thank you for a wonderful build.
I have a 400/20 Mbps line and was wondering what is the max throughput I can expect on this build? I get about 120 Mbps and was wondering whether I need to make any special tweaks to get it to at least in the 300 Mbps range.
FYI - I enabled SQM QOS and set the download link to 360000 kbps and use cake/piece_of_cake QD. Remaining settings are pretty much basic.
With those speeds, you might drop cake and just use simple.sqm with fq_codel. Or at least stop modifying the download speed. I feel that cake is too computational intensinve for gigagit class speeds. With fq_codel I get some 200/18 by myself, maxing out my connection.
If you look at the R7800 discussion, you can see that there is some discussion on the processor speedup tweaks, mostly regarding the CPU clock and memory clock speeds vs. frequency scaling. Right now I have no special modifications in my own build.
Thank you. After using fq_codel with simple.qos, I see it is little bit better. I still have the download speed to 360K and do you recommend not to set any limits or have a limit for simple.qos?
Are you talking about wired speed from PC, or about wireless? Wireless could be slow for other reasons in any case.
Depending on your user profile I see no actual need for setting the download speed limit to 360. Why spend the CPU cycles for QoS calculations if you are not going to saturate the local link in any case. You might just try unlimited download speed.
I am talking about wired. I have it setup at 360,000 for download and 18,000 for upload - that is 10% below my subscribed limit. I read online that usually you setup 10% below your available link speed.
So, you suggest that I set it as 0 for both upload and download?
