@palibrzuch - uploaded a G10 image. See what you think.
@castiel652 Thanks for the encap offloading. I’ve included your commits in today’s build to see what the wifi performance looks like.
Otherwise:
@ACwifidude
Unfortunately, the image does not install. I tried to change the dts file myself but also to no avail. Logs from seriall from your image.

I tried the stable version and 21.02. Same result on both.
I'M curious id someone else has the same problem, with the last update (yesterday build) (r7800)
everyhting is ok, but wireguard gives me only 2-300 kbits instead of 150mbps...
I flashed with sysupgrade, finaly, I reset, and start from scratch. start from scratch wireguard 2-3 times, still the same.
I use a commercial vpn provider but elsewhere, the wireguard works at full speed.
Wireguard has undergone tons of updates in master. Looks like one of the new patches broke it.
yes I saw it in the open wrt git log..... a lot yes 
it must be about that.
Looks like the G10 needs some small edits in gmac1 (2 changes: poll is not required and there should be rgmii-delay)
This should be what right looks like:
&gmac1 {
status = "okay";
compatible = "qcom,nss-gmac";
reg = <0x37200000 0x200000>;
interrupts = <GIC_SPI 223 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
phy-mode = "rgmii";
qcom,id = <1>;
qcom,pcs-chanid = <0>;
qcom,phy-mdio-addr = <4>;
qcom,poll-required = <0>;
qcom,rgmii-delay = <1>;
qcom,phy_mii_type = <0>;
qcom,emulation = <0>;
qcom,forced-speed = <1000>;
qcom,forced-duplex = <1>;
qcom,socver = <0>;
qcom,irq = <255>;
mdiobus = <&mdio0>;
pinctrl-0 = <&rgmii2_pins>;
pinctrl-names = "default";
fixed-link {
speed = <1000>;
full-duplex;
};
};
I'm compiling a new image. I'll let you know.
Unfortunately, I made changes to dts but image doesn't install. It doesn't install with openwrt. Does not install from original software. I do not have a screenshot from the seriall because I uploaded to the second g10 in which I do not have cables pulled out.
Are you on kernel 5.4.100 or 101?
First of all, thanks for all of your hard work! I've been using your build for the past couple of weeks and have had good results.
My connection/setup:
# Put your custom commands here that should be executed once
# the system init finished. By default this file does nothing.
echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/scaling_governor
echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy1/scaling_governor
uci set irqbalance.irqbalance.enabled=1; uci commit
exit 0
My results:
Let me know if I can help in anyway by testing stuff.
Glad it is working well for you. Just keep me posted if you see any strange behavior, issues, or if you recommend any improvements. Trying to make the build have the best performance for ipq806x OpenWrt has to offer. Speedtest can be finicky sometimes for sure- especially with the nuances of wifi. I just tried two servers back to back and got very different results. First server was 400/35. Second server (closer) was this:
Did some additional testing just now. Was able to replicate the attached speed across my desktop, phone and multiple servers after re-enabling the R7800 radios.
I'm wondering if it could be:
-Ath10k vs Ath10k-ct.
-The VLAN tagging (CL requires all traffic to be tagged with 201 vlan) + PPPOE required for CenturyLink creating extra overhead. Although I read that this build has PPPOE NSS offloading.
-The recommended performance tweaks not taking, new to openwrt but I'm assuming if I have everything in rc.local startup script, I should be good? I went in via ssh and made sure it was executable via chmod +x /etc/rc.local and verified that it contains the recommended commands.
The /etc/rc.local file runs after you have started up your router. If you haven’t restarted your router you are still running your old settings.
You can SSH in and check:
root@OpenWrt:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/scaling_governor

If your wired is getting full line rate and you aren’t getting upper 400-mid 500 via a 80Mhz wide 2x2 client from a couple feet away - it has to be something regarding the wireless settings or wireless driver/firmware.
Feel free to post your wireless settings (minus your password):
cat /etc/config/wireless

I have transmitting power set as default which is going at 20 dBm. Verified that the performance settings are good. However I did notice that you mention that firewall software and hardware offloading should be disabled. Aren't these disabled by default or do I need to change them manually?
I’d change your wireless security to at least wpa2 + AES (makes sure you have fast speed and good security). I like to select a channel instead of using auto. Try channel 36 - if the other AP is turned on make sure it is a high channel to prevent interference like 161.
If you check the firewall section you can see the software / hardware offloading checkboxes. You can turn them off.
-Changed the wireless settings per your suggestion.
-firewall offloading has been off from the start.
Speeds are still the same.. I’ll try switching the athk drivers tomorrow to see if that does anything. The fact that it was displaying the same behavior when using the dumb AP makes me think it’s got something to do with how it’s handling the traffic. I’m going to keep looking into it, I’ll let you know if I find anything out.
EDIT *
After using htop and running speedtests, it looks like the issue might be the CPU work across cores. Download doesn't utilize nearly as much CPU as upload.
Replicated with:
It looks like @iLoveRamen is using your build with a 1gb CenturyLink connection over PPPOE. Ramen, what do your WiFi speeds look like?
I have been 10 days and 15 hours, it is still early, but it is already more stable.
I'm using:
OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r15851-31a06f8fcc, kernel 5.4.99, with perforance governor and irqbalance (I get 100% case of my line, 570mb / 600mb).
I will wait longer, but if everything goes well, the problem is the NSS driver? or have the latest kernel solved the problem?
Could be either. I had two r7800 NSS based builds at 14+ days recently with no issue.
sure yes, my friend also has the SSN with many more days, but with the workload that I have, it lasted a short time. I have not changed the workload, only the firmware, it is the test that I am doing, and for the moment, more stable without NSS. Now I don't know if it will be this kernel, or the NSS, or a combination of both. Will I wait more days, 1 month? and I will switch back to your new versions with 5.4.99 and NSS. Same kernel, but with NSS. If it crashes, then it's clear to me.
what difference between the 21.04 stable and the master?
21.04 is new?
