Hi Dave,
thx!
Thank you T-Troll!
true. I deleted the -e 8)
can I somehow speed up the torrent client gui?
transmission gui responds very slowly under windows or timeout when one or more torrents are running
Compared to the WRT1200, I don’t feel any speed increase in the gui reaction
I am using vm.vfs_cache_pressure=1 in the sysctl.conf but it doesn't really help
does it make sense to change the cache pressure from 100 to 1?
Installed the newest @davidc502 build last night with Linux kernel 5.4, everything started up quickly and looked great. Rather than keep my old settings I decided to start from scratch for a change. Oddly I had no internet connection, it was like it couldn't connect to my cable modem. Is there any default setting now that has WAN disabled? I checked firewall and interfaces and didn't notice anything missing. I'll check tonight when I get home, might have just missed something simple on my end. Thanks.
Hi phinn,
try restarting the modem.
br,
zacci
Yea I did several times, and restarted networking on the router too. Couldn't connect. Gotta be something weird I'll look at it tonight. Was just thinking maybe a default setting changed i didn't know about.
EDIT: got home and rebooted the router and it's working, no idea what was going on but it's all good.
A quick question on memory USED as reported by the GUI in the STATUS-OVERVIEW page.
When I reboot, USED Memory is at around 50%. It then keeps climbing until, for example, at about 3 days uptime it is 94%.
Should I be concerned about this? Should I ever let it get to 100%?
@davidc502 updated to your latest on my WRT32x, the one with new kernel 5.4.42. Tested my 200Mbit cable internet on dslreporst.com/speedtest, held 215Mbits with straight A's to Overall, Quality, and Bufferbloat. Enabled 5GHz wifi it works great, and my USB 3.0 storage is running fast 80MB/s+. Thanks again for a great build.

Yep, Kernel 5.4.42 has really boosted things.
I have got CPU Frequency working on my build nicely on my internal build on WRT32x (Using the same .config as DavidC's builds)
What does Memory graph showing Is Statistics -> Graphs ?
Reason i ask is because
Overview shows
But Statistics Graph shows
Just install the newest build it's 5.4.42, he probably just didn't update the text on the page.
I think that was why it was bumped, however i don't even know what XDP is for to be honest.
The OpenWrt page is really out of date. What's the best way to enable USB 3.0 storage (have a 3TB portable HD)? Is it just to install "samba4-server" and "luci-app-samba4"? Thanks.
How are you going to format the 3TB drive.
Depending on the file system you format the 3TB drive on will either result into only requiring Samba 4 packages or if you will need to install extra packages for the file system the drive has been formatted to.
Being a 3TB drive means you won't be able to format it as FAT32 with leaves exfat or ext4.
It's formatted NTFS and it's mounted. I could reformat but it's been that way for a couple years and has worked well in the past with that file system. I can only use the drive right now if I SSH into my OpenWrt router and browse /dev/sda1, for some reason the share isn't accessible from my Windows 10 (version 2004). I just see the folder name but it won't open, never had this issue before I updated and wiped away my settings.
Is it showing in mount section if so then, your good to go!
2all about RAM issue:
Try first issue the command /bin/sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches, then check again.
If free RAM return back to startup level - all things going right, it's just file caching using it. If not - yes, seems like dnscrypt is leaking. You can switch to dnscrypt2 or smartdns in this case.
