Support for new Archer c5 v4

Only a direct connection to the cable from the ISP would provide information about their speed.

Openwrt support for rtl8367s-vb has just been confirmed. New snapshots will now support both versions of the chip.

It may not be a perfect code yet, but now it is available for a much wider number of testers.

I installed the latest snapshot build on my archer c5 v4 (RTL8367D) and i am facing the same issue as vanillacode314 was facing, i am getting max speeds of 100mbps on a 200 mbps connection.
Link speed is shown as 1000 on my machine, I have flashed the stock firmware for now and i am getting 200mbps

One more thing that i wanted to ask, when i installed openwrt, i had to manually edit the /etc/network/config to set up pppoe. Surprisingly when i switched back to stock firmware, all my settings are same as they were before installing openwrt (I have no clue how those settings persisted)

Please paste LuCI->network->switch
e.g.:

There is 1000 mbps on WAN, which means the speed drop is not due to the Ethernet port speed limitation.

I don't know what is the reason for this, but i am getting the full speed of 200 Mbps while using the stock firmware
And i think it was the same with @vanillacode314 as well. His Wan Port cable is 1000 Mbps and that's why he was getting 20MB/s while using wifi, when they directly plugged the wan (from isp) to their pc, the link speed was limited to 100 because of their usb2 to rj45 adaptor

Hey are you using an ACT connection? If yes where did you find the stock firmware? Can you walk me through how did you revert

Yes
Download stock firmware from tplink's spain site

sudo dd if=stockfirm.bin of=tp_recovery.bin bs=512 skip=1
don't forget to extract the bin file from the zip

So it may be a problem with PPPoE performance, MTU settings or something.

All my settings were preserved too. Weird

Stock firmware is Linux too.

I can confirm my speeds are still worse. I will contact my ISP get it fixed and retest the openwrt snapshot

that's expected if u are using usb2 adaptor, try testing on 5g wifi

what's the location where the stock settings are stored, i tried to grep the whole partition files but couldn't fine anything

I tried both, it has to be my ISP

tried, my speeds are still restricted to 100mbps

mt7620 doesn't have hardware offloading implemented so try software offloading

it's same, btw the github issue you linked mentions that their speed is limited to 200Mbps but in my case, it is limited to 100Mbps only
