Thank you HomerSp. I needed quit a few boot ups. It just hanged without responding.
Now it runs with usb and led support! Very good.
But I don't see the 2.4ghz wlan adapter in luci?

I've noticed the same boot issues after doing a sysupgrade, not really sure what's going on there, but we may need serial access to find out why.
Haven't seen the 2.4ghz issue myself - it's working perfectly for me. Did you try doing a reset?
After a reboot the 2.4ghz seem to be working just fine.

@arokh very impressive ROM, it works very well.
I'm trying to get USB working but with no luck so far. I'm not sure what the problem is. When I insert a usb stick, I don't see any new device under /dev and nothing new in dmesg.When I call "lsusb" I get the following error:
unable to initialize libusb: -99This error seems to happen when no USB controllers is detected.
I've added some missing modules for usb3 and led support in my latest build.

Thank you for the new build, usb and the leds are working fine.
Cool thanks for the feedback.
Could someone run the openssl speed test from this page?
https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/benchmark.openssl
Also interested in LAN/WAN speeds and USB3 throughput.
Here is the output from the openssl test:

sys 0m 2.72sSo it's around 12MiB/s write speed and 80MiB/s read. Would probably get better speed using a filesystem that doesn't require fuse, but I don't have any other usb3 devices to test with.
I tried it with a USB 3.0 Stick (Transcend JF780, 64GB) with ext4:
root@OpenWrt share# time dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1M count=1024 conv=fsync
1024+0 records in

1024+0 records out
real 0m 11.69s
user 0m 0.02s
sys 0m 3.20s
So it is about 34MiB/s write speed and 88 MiB/s read speed.
Might be limited by the stick?
The USB Stick runs on the pc with about 140MiB/s write speed and over 200 MiB/s read speed.
I think it is the limit of the router, smallnetbuilder.com had with the tp-link firmware similar results. 38MiB/s write speed and 82MiB/s read speed.
I tried it again and got 37MiB/s write speed... ^^
I also got a litle wget problem with your current build (r48005) , otherwise it is running very good.
I can't download any https file with wget:
root@OpenWrt share# wget https://de.wikipedia.org/
Connecting to de.wikipedia.org (91.198.174.192:443)
wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
After installing 'ca-certificates' I can download it with curl, not sure why wget does not work...

Ok, thanks for the info. It does seem kind of slow though. In the smallnetbuilder test the Linksys EA8500, which has the exact same CPU (IPQ8064) as the Archer, scores 58.7 MB/s. And that's on NTFS, which I can only assume is through FUSE.
As for wget, the busybox variant is compiled without SSL by default. I'll enable that for a future build, but as you noticed there is curl 
Maybe it is a caching problem. When I run the dd command with 1GB it uses all the free memory (350MB) to cache the data.
If I create a file with only 300MB, I get a write speed of 46MB/s.
Do you know how I could disable the caching to test the speed?
Did you try running with a count=100 for example? Maybe a file transfer through NFS would be a better real world test.
Yes that is what I ment with the 300MB test.
Here with 100MB, is about 49MB/s:
root@OpenWrt share# time dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1M count=100 conv=fsync
100+0 records in
100+0 records out
real 0m 2.05s
user 0m 0.00s
sys 0m 0.95s
I tried FTP over LAN as well, I did get 40MB/s write speed with a 1.3GB file.

Hi Guys,
first thanks for creating the images for the archer c2600 .
My Archer C2600 came today and im currently playing around with it.
I just thought about installing openwrt on the router to use the great eatures. I'm really new to openwrt, so please excuse me if some of my questions might be stupid:
1. Is there a dedicated tutorial for installing the firmware (arokh's image) on the Archer C2600?
2. Is my understanding right, that i can flash the "factory" Image directly over the stock firmware's update function?
3. What will be the ip of the router after flashing the firmware?
4. When i want to update afterwards to a new version of arokhs mage - then i will need the sysupgrade image, right?
Thank you very much!
Regards,
powerlinemk
Hi powerlinemk, welcome to openwrt.
Yes your understanding is correct. You just download the firmware (openwrt-ipq806x-C2600-squashfs-factory.bin) and update it in the web interface.
The IP after the update is 192.168.1.1.
To update the firmware after you installed openwrt, you download the new sysupdate image (openwrt-ipq806x-C2600-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin) and update it in the web interface from openwrt.
but there is no official openwrt image?
No, the patches are not accepted yet. Give it some time, I'm sure we will see official builds soon.

bendavid has been amazingly patient in constantly reworking the patches to match all the specific details the devs want before accepting them (even down to the title of the mail used to submit the patches). Super kudos to him for that.
All: thank you very much for your excellent work on the C2600 image. It is just what this excellent piece of hardware needs. It is so much faster and more reliable than the stock firmware of TP-Link (of which the latest version is more than 3 months old). The stock firmware gave me issues with WAN not receiving an Ip address from my ISP, my Synology NAS randomly not appearing on my LG 42LA8609 television (DLNA) and no option of link aggregation. So, again: thanks a lot.
The only thing I came across is that I'm not able to set fixed IP addresses via Static Leases. I get the: "Some fields are invalid, cannot save values!" message. I left the IPv6 suffix blank. I couldn't find anything generic on this, therefore I'm wondering whether this is something specific for this build (I use arokh v48005) or whether I'm overseeing something. Sorry if this is too much a newbie question.
Edit: it appeared to be a newbie issue: I tried to use a space in the hostname. Quite stupid, of course, but the error message could have been cleared (ie: mentioning which field causes the issue, for example).

Love the feature set but it does seem to have stability issues, roughly twice or three times per day my wifi briefly goes down and the router seems to reboot itself (at least uptime gets reset). Am I the only one experiencing this?
For me it is working very good.
My setup is a 5 ghz bridge to the main router and it is sending a new 2.4ghz wlan network to expand the range...
I have a updtime of over 4 days. And the restarts before that are just because I played with the config and reboted it myself...
Could you tell us about your setup? Which software did you install? Maybe you could give us a log or something to work on?
Sorry for my question:
TP-Link Archer C7 AC1750 is a well supported device. But it's also an old device. I would like to buy the Archer C2600. Question is, OpenWRT community will also find a solution to support all features of this device officially?
If you just read a few posts back you will already have the answer to your question.
