Thanks for very good work.

There is going to be an official release in the next couple of days. (This will fix the problem)

Fingers crossed

Hi guys, I've just installed Gargoyle 1.11.0 on my Archer c7 v2, I was on ddwrt before, but I was looking for something more... let's say... rock solid and reading about a lot of good experiences with Archer v7 and Gargoyle, in the end I decided to move in.
The point is that is my first experience with Gargoyle and I'm having some problem with both my wifi channels, they are very slow, 2.4ghz is stuck to 45/50Mbits and the 5ghz to 130Mbits, with dd-wrt I was able to use my wan connection at full speed (250/25) with my 5ghz channel, after a little bit of tuning, but I don't see a lot of option with Gargoyle firmware about wifi settings...
Through lan cable I'm able to hit the full speed without any problem...
Any tips?

Hi everyone, my first post, I've just installed Gargoyle 1.11.0 on my Archer v2, I'm coming from ddwrt, everything went quite smoothly, but right now I'm having very low wlan -> wan speed o the 2.4ghz, about 45/50mbits and around 140mbits on the 5ghz, my line is a 250/25, through lan port I'm able to hit 240/250mbits with any problem....
Any suggestion?

Router CPU is not powerful enough.

It also depends on what services you are using. e.g. QOS

You need the powerful linksys routers but even they have there limits

Hi first of all, sorry for the double post, I didn't realize that it had to be approved...
I'm not using QOS for now, the strange thing is that I'm reaching the top of the line using the cable, so I was expecting to reach the same result with 5Ghz wifi, I was able too with ddwrt with no QOS.

He was mistaken for a CPU problem. The problem is only with WiFi and is caused by the 802.11 standard and 20/40MHz (auto) channels at 2.4GHz and 40/80MHz (auto) at 5GHz. It has been dealt with here many times.

yes, sorry.

RomanHK is most likely correct
my line is a 250/25
I still don't think you will hit top speed with that router?

A LAN speed test would be interesting (wifi bypass)

As I wrote in my broken English, using the cable, the lan speed is full, 250/25
