As the OEM firmware was on my units for less than 5 minutes after booting them the first time, I cannot provide any numbers for it.

The latest DD-WRT build is very stable on this router and quite capable of sustaining its advertised speed of 1Gbps throughput (LAN<>WAN), even without using SFE/NSS.

Can anyone speak to a comparison of speeds with the OEM firmware? Are the most recent builds stable (I see they no longer ask for serial dumps).

The speeds were equivalent. DD-wrt give a lot more options though as is stable as well. Just know there is not a easy way to flashback to stock firmware currently.

It does go in to a reboot cycle if you enabled eoip tunnels if you also set your internet connection to a static ip which I intend to elaborate more on after I update to the most recent release.

I believe the boot loop on tunnels was fixed in r58163. Was not aware of the WAN static IP boot loop. To access the kernel crash logs, ssh into the router and type:

Code:

strings /dev/mtd26

and to erase it to get fresh data do:

Code:

mtd erase /dev/mtd26
reboot

EDIT: Do not run this exact same erase command on any other router. The mtd26 Oops partition is different for each device. ie. It's mtd20 on the mr7350.

You can check this by running cat /proc/mtd

Code:

# cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00100000 00040000 "sbl1"
mtd1: 00100000 00040000 "mibib"
mtd2: 00080000 00040000 "bootconfig"
mtd3: 00080000 00040000 "bootconfig1"
....
mtd26: 00400000 00040000 "oops" << It's this one

Well I have installed the newest dd-wrt: DD-WRT v3.0-r58207 std (08/28/24

Wifi seemed stable. But it got crazy once eoip was on and the wan port was coneected. I have added the mtd26 log and dmesg

This seems the same issue I was having with Mikrotik tunnels. It may be the same "fix" needs applied to EOIP tunnels as well. Try disabling the EOIP tunnel on the opposite side and see if it still crashes/boot loops your mx4300.
