My C2600 is stable without tc scripts. If I enable it I encounter reboots few times per day.
Hi, now OpenWrt 24.10.0 is out, are you planning to build a new image for R7800 and alike, with NSS as the images listed above? Or is this release version still incompatible?
24.10 builds with nss will not be possible as DSA is not compatible with nss

does this mean our routers with nss die here?
There is generic openwrt image but without hw nss acceleration, so it is as it is.
It looks like it but 23.05.5 will be supported for probably another year and KONG might support it even longer but if you really need 1 Gb/s LAN<>WAN throughput you might start looking for another router.
I have a Dynalink DL-WRX36 which works very well can easily sustain 1 Gb/s LAN<>WAN and does over 800 Mb/s using WireGuard, also AX so Wifi is also a tad faster

R7800 already does 1Gbit routing so no worries. (Contrary to what people seem to say) You just don’t get traffic shaping, but if you have a 1Gbit line you probably don’t need it that much anyways.
Upgrade to 24.10 and never look back.
These devices make wonderful access points.

That Dynalink looks nice and is cheap but not for sale in this region. And on the OpenWRT page it shows Supported current rel 23.05.5. And it's a waste of a good R7800.
I also found this post where is stated that NSS is not needed Probably when the router is powerfull enough? But does this have more power consumption than a NSS firmware router?
Maybe then go for @ACwifidude 's last 23.05.5 image and try to put some security updates in - is this possible anyway?

I got a sad 600 Mbps, I think with 19.07.8. Did newer versions get faster?
You get 940 Mbps now with 24.10?
Upgrade to something newer. 19.07 is ancient.
Newer kernels are more efficient. On top, kernel 6.6 in 24.10 has task scheduler performance enhancements (it's somewhere up on this thread) which also helps.
I stopped using NSS builds on my ipq806x time ago. They were great for speed ok for traffic shaping but were not worth the hassle of the custom build, custom config, and issues.

Those pages are a little behind the DL-WRX36 is supported on 24.10 and on Master also
True but for at least the next year there is support for 23.05 and maybe someone will backport things to keep it operating longer
The R7800 non-NSS builds of 24.10 are OK still some bugs and Speedwise I get around 700 Mb/s LAN<>WAN throughput (IRQ-Balance and packetsteering, no SQM, No offload), I am fine with that as I have a 600 MB ISP plan.

but with high consumption and temperature. With nss the CPU is hardly used at all.

Absolutely, it would be great if we could have a 24.10 NSS build, theoretically not impossible, but the NSS modules need to be adapted for DSA.
I don't understand at that level, but it seems that the NSS modules are working because someone did some kind of reverse engineering with the Qualcomm firmware, that's why it works. So the adaptations will be complex, I understand. Still, it's a very good machine, as you can see, 201 days.

I totally agree I love my R7800

You are right, I am on the 22.x image from this page. Wanted to upgrade to 23.x but did not want to do a new configuration. Then 24.10 came and this may be a good step. Now I read from @egc that this gives 700 Mbit (on newer? hardware) so it wil probably slower. Reconsidering for the latest 23.x NSS then ...
Thanks for reporting the 700 Mbps on 24.10. Good to know that 23.05 still gets support, but how to get those updates into the (running) image from @ACwifidude ?
There is a vivid example of what you can achieve with the wonderful ACwifidude firmware.
This is the compilation of the photo. luck!

23.05.5 NSS is certainly faster.
The very old Kernel 4.X builds could also do almost 1 Gb/s throughput without NSS but since then speed did go down
