I have an Archer C7v2.

Toke's repository has the airtime fairness patch and a patch to enable 
fq_codel on the ath10k for 5Ghz.

http://kau.toke.dk/git/lede/

Both the 2.4Ghz N and 2.4Ghz AC work very well.

I recommend installing cake.  It's under kernel modules and network 
support in the menuconfig.  Since cake now has NAT integration.  You can 
use the dual flow isolation feature to give equal bandwidth to the 
devices on your network.

Simply select cake as the qdisc and a sqm script that uses cake. Under 
the "Queue Discipline" tab, enable a set of two checkboxes.

Under "Advanced option string to pass to the ingress queueing 
disciplines," put in "dual-dsthost nat"

Under "Advanced option string to pass to the egress queueing 
disciplines," put in "dual-srchost nat"

Because of the issues with WMM in the WiFi stack, I recommend using the 
following custom iptables rules:

iptables -t mangle -A FORWARD -o br-lan -j DSCP --set-dscp-class be
iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -o br-lan -j DSCP --set-dscp-class be
ip6tables -t mangle -A FORWARD -o br-lan -j DSCP --set-dscp-class be
ip6tables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -o br-lan -j DSCP --set-dscp-class be

You still need WMM to get the full speeds on the newer WiFi modes.
