Difference 1.0.4.5HF-HW vs 1.0.4.5HF: “HW” version means hardware acceleration of OpenSSL.

Thank you.

Either version going to have better throughput without using VPN? I just got a R9000 today and installed your 1.0.4.5HF version and the router doesn't get the same speeds I was getting with my ASUS RT-AC86U with a 1g/1g fiber connection.
I figured this R9000 would have plenty of horsepower for gigabit internet.

I did not quite understand: do you use VPN client or no. It is better to flash 1.0.4.5HF-HW for OpenVPN.

I do not use vpn.
Also, would it be possible for you or someone to add some hardware usage info into the firmware? I hate how Netgear Genie doesn't tell you anything about CPU usage, RAM usage, internet speed, nothing! Why not?

Thank you. Are there any ways to include YAMON to entware so we can monitor traffic in detail? Thanks again.

Kamoj is working on his add-on for R9000. The same as for R7800. See:

I am not sure. Probably no special Entware package is needed. According to

http://usage-monitoring.com/manualInstall.php

all what is needed is USB dive mounted to /opt. Did not you check this instruction? Are you in touch with Linux?
