I have installed new build image (master-r22457-967520800a-20230331) as I would like to use DLNA (minidlna pckg) and with previous build there was a conflict with kernel. Unfortunately after the update of .img I am not able to add a package minidlna due to conflict kernel version:
The installed version of package kernel is not compatible, require 5.15.105-1-87f3d369… while 5.15.104-1-5811a332… is installed.
As I am not able to include this package in a self-compiled image, would you be so kind and upgrade this kernel in your build? I would then install it on top via luci.
Best regards and thanks for a great build-runs smoothly on my device since 12.2020.

Apologies in advance as I am certain that I am beating a dead horse on this topic:
I am coming from DD-WRT, I wanted to get builds that have been from within the last 2 years for my peace of mind as Kong has long since left, and also just to explore greener pastures. However, I get Gigabit down from the ISP and on DDWRT I would see about what I'd expect, in the range of 900Mbit over ethernet; After switching to your stable r20071 build I am seeing approx 200. I went to the settings and turned on the software offload, and I have changed the CPU governor to performance as I've seen oft discussed here, but that only seems to show me about 400. I do NOT use the SQM.
I have seen other builds for R7800, specifically from ACwifidude which seem to be lasered in on performance. For my sake, can someone give me a bit of clarity on my direction here? Is it just that I should be running master instead of stable (2000+ commits ahead is certainly substantial)? Should I be switching to a more bare-bones "performance-centric" build like those posted by ACwifidude? Or is there configuration I am missing elsewhere.
I have two R7800 configured more or less the same, one is running DDWRT (build 52242) the other is running OpenWRT 22.03.3, based on @hnyman (highly recommended build if you do not compile yourself)
I also noticed the speed difference between DDWRT and OpenWRT possibly because DDWRT uses the leaner Kernel 4.9?
But OpenWRT has nss builds which can use the power of the nss cores
Thanks all. Sorry to further clutter this thread but I switched to the NSS build from ACwifidude and I am seeing the expected performance w offloads enabled.
Not sure what's wrong with hnyman builds, but last time I measured my builds I was able to do 900Mbps in case qos is disabled. And my NSS builds will give around 950Mbps with only a 3-5% CPU load and enabled qos:-)
Hi to all,
I've been trying to update my R7800 for months. The trouble is I get half of my bandwidth when I update to a new firmware after the master-R19797. I decided to see if I could update to the master-R22605 firmware and am having the same halving of throughput. Do I not worry about? Do I perform the update with out loading any of my existing settings? Do I use owrt2203 instead?
Regards,
Mitch
@hnyman , given that XR500 is virtually the same hardware as R7800, could this build be installed and work (as is) on an XR500 or not because there is some kind of "Device ID" associated with the build? Thanks.
