Followup: Eventually speed of CT drivers matched my previous speed on 23.05.
I updated my XR500 to 24.10 - the later 20241110 driver worked at full speed for me.
Router: R7800
Firmware: KONG 24 r28237-4b4f319931
I switched to the latest Kong build from the firmware selector RC4 build, in the hope that I would stop seeing the following errors in the log:

Well they also exist on the Kong build.. Does anybody know what they are referring to? and is there any way to correct this?
Edit: Probably Important to mention that I swapped the default "-ct" drivers on the previous rc4 build with none-ct drivers, so the same as the Kong build:
ath10k-board-qca9984 - 20241110-r1
ath10k-firmware-qca9984 - 20241110-r1
kmod-ath10k - 6.6.67.6.11.2-r1
I created a thread on these log entries, but more likely to get a response here, as in theory everybody with an R7800 router should be getting the same errors on their logs..
This does not make sense between 20230804-1 and 20241110-r1 nothing changed for this hw:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/log/ath10k/QCA9984
To see which firmware is used you should run this command:
dmesg | grep firmware
Not look at the package date of ath10k-firmware.
The XR500 had no issues with the latest 24.10 wifi firmware.
20230804-1 and 20241110-r1 both gave 100Mbps.
The EA8500 only went to 40Mbps with the latest 24.10 firmware.
When I swapped to drivers for the CT versions (2020.11.08-r1), the EA8500 speed increased to 100Mbps.
Hello,
Do you know if the build for the R7500v2 can be used on a R7500v1 ?
I know that they have different HW for the 5Ghz radio, and that the • Quantenna QT3840BC + QT2518B of the R7500v1 is not supported... but I believe the rest of the hardware is similar between the two versions (CPU Qualcomm Atheros IPQ8064, Switch Qualcomm Atheros QCA8337, 2..4 Ghz wifi Qualcomm Atheros QCA9880), thus I was hoping to benefit from the NSS acceleration at least for the Ethernet part of the router...
Or am I missing something?
You are missing a lot, the hardware is not at all as similar as you'd like it to be.
'Somehow' force-flashing the R7500v2 image on a R7500v1 is guaranteed to brick it, probably for good.

When I renew wan6, tcpdump is like this, vltime:86400 (24 hours), my question is why the router cannot renew the prefix time before this time expires.

Where can I get information.
