Optimized build for the D-Link DIR-860L

latest works fine for me, 5Ghz channels 40-45MB/sec about 40% better than older builds! signal seems better too have 2/5 on places i had just 1/5 before! cannot confirm anything about 2.4Ghz channels, since i am using only 5Ghz, Usb storage works fine, can confirm speeds about 25-35 MB/sec!!

I am having problems with access to the web gui. https://192.168.1.1/ gives me ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

I installed the sysupgrade from ssh.
Anyone else seeing this?

I would guesstimate the changes of that happening are around 80% for the reasons I have specified in previous posts. Let me know if you need help with compiling.

That's weird. What happens if you try https://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci?

@All, new build (r5578) linked in the OP.
For people rocking an asymmetrical connection cake's new ack-filter might be worth enabling. More reading and explanation available here.
I want to try this fancy new ack-filter, how to I enable it?
In LuCI under Network >> SQM QoS >> the Queue Discipline tab, pass one of the following strings to "the Advanced option string to pass to the egress queueing disciplines; no error checking, use very carefully." field: "ack-filter" or "ack-filter-agressive".
If you don't see that field tick the "Show and Use Advanced Configuration." box.
For the people wanting to use the command line and the included nano:
Login via SSH >> nano /etc/config/sqm >> add "ack-filter" to option eqdisc_opts (eg. option eqdisc_opts 'ack-filter').

Edit: derp, needed some more coffee. The ack-filter should be used on egress, not ingress!

Is this allready build into sqm-scripts 1.1.3-1 ?
Sorry for asking but i would like to try this on my WRT3200 :sweat_smile:

Let me know if you need help with compiling.

Thanks for the offer @Bartvz - I'll probably wait for a while since this is my main device and it is work critical to have internet 90% of the time. I'm happy with you builds with only thing left to get the luks mounting working.

This is not built into sqm-scripts but into cake and iproute2. If the build you are running includes this and this commit you can play around with the ack-filter. Those should be included in the development snapshots :wink:

I know the feeling. I play around with it when nobody is at home otherwise there would be some complaints :wink:
I'll look into luks encryption when I have the time.

https://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci? seem to work just fine, thanks. the material theme is also nice.

Thanks for the info !

Im running the latest build of davidc502 (5501), i think that i cant use it for now... but *hopefully with the next build :slight_smile:

I can now make the following corrections to my previous statement that https://192.168.1.1 does not work.
Neither does the https://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci?, at least not from Win10.

It does in fact work, from android, from Linux, from Windows 7, but not from Windows 10. Strange.

Also what are good settings for cake when you have 100/100 mbit? I get about 97/97 of those when measuring.

Turns out, on that specific machine, bitdefender was installed.. That was the culprit.

This is a good place to start: https://lede-project.org/docs/user-guide/sqm

Create a basic configuration which works for you. After that we can use it as a base for further tweaking with some more advanced configuration options :wink:

Ah, BitDefender does SSL filtering if I remember correctly. Since we use a self generated certificate, it will block the website.

Any way to add our self generated certificate to chrome so we don't get security warnings in Google chrome?

I followed the instructions here: https://lede-project.org/docs/user-guide/getting-rid-of-luci-https-certificate-warnings

And although it still says not secure, it did not issue the warning, and even Bitdefender accepted the certificate. Yay!

In my router has LEDE Reboot 17.01.4 r3560-79f57e422d now.
Can I install this firmware with normal (Luci), sysupgrade way?
Can I load back the setup from backup?

You should be fine to sysupgrade the usual way.

Any additional packages you installed on top of the snapshot build will need to be reinstalled (if not already included in this custom build), but their config files will be preserved.

Restoring from backup should work fine too.

Is the Wireguard status page included by default, or is there a way to use Wireguard vpn as well?

There might be a way of extracting it but still you have to add it manually to chrome.

Wireguard status page is not included by default. Configuring it goes a bit differently and is nicely explained over here. Let me know if you need any help.

@All, some eagle-eyed people may have already noticed it but I uploaded a new build. Enjoy!

@Bartvz - Anything on the luks/ecryption support ?

I had no time to play around due to busy period at work but if everything goes well I have a test build for you later today.

no rush, it isn't that urgent, just wanted to check if it is still on your list
