Thanks, Lantis!

For anyone reading this who's new to the show, here's the forum link to the .torrent file which contains all the builds. Simply pull out the file for your particular router.

And if you don't already know, this custom firmware is the bomb!
Thanks Eric, Ispy and Lantis for your hard work!

Test it hard, I found it a bit unstable on my C7

It wasn't obvious at the start? (run for a few days and I didn't notice any problems at first)

Please report back

In the next build of Gargoyle openwrt has bin bumped up to cc15.1

That means we will have all the latest code and fixes witch includes a updated driver for the 5ghz Wi-Fi.
Witch can be a bitch some times I get drops after about 4 5 days uptime.

In the meantime I found this on a email list.

SNIP:

iw dev wlp4s0 set power_save off

worked beautifully on the ath10k driver I'm using. The babel metric
stayed stable, the route stayed stable, life was good, throughput
increased, latency dropped...

That said, I know how hard wifi device driver writers are hammering at
trying to reduce multicast effects, and save power... and I haven't
exactly found the root cause of this problem, in this driver... (or in
the ath9k on the AP side) but I think I've seen it elsewhere also,
while chasing this -l failover issue.

END SNIP:

On my c7 the command is.

iw dev wlan0 set power_save off
I tried this out and it has not messed up yet but it's only one day uptime so far.

I forget to check out what the power_save was set to before i put in the command. :(

works great for me, does it have to be done again if the router reboots or is it a one time fix?
