I need to dig out my WNDR3800 and see how cake and the airtime fairness patches all perform on it vs the WRT1900AC.  But it's internal antennas and 11n radio have nothing on the WRT1900AC for wifi coverage and performance (over 2x the throughput at medium range, 10x at longer ranges, in my house).

It looks like christmas morning would be a good time to open
presents... and flash firmware!

Also:

The latest cake is looking like a win across the board (see attached).
I am still nervous about longer RTTs (as I haven't tested those since
the cobalt branch was merged), and I figure there is more to be done
to speed it up - it's about cpu equivalent at 250Mbit on the apu2.
