Same goes for me. I would be sooooooo happy if the random reboot issue could be resolved soonish. Aside from that the dd-wrt is just great!!! Thx for the good work!
I just hate the lag on the 5GHz that is inherent in Asus firmware (and wifi loss, especially with IOS in the Asus builds), I do not get it with dd-wrt at all, and I love all the monitoring, tweaks, ect that dd-wrt has.
I am mostly positive the random reboot is inherent in this build, but they have not yet made another build for us.
But for now I have set my 5GHz in dd-wrt to default (I know it slows down the 5GHz but if it makes it more stable, that is more important for now for me than speed on the 5GHz)
Wireless network mode = mixed
Wireless channel = 20 MHz
Someone said they do not get reboots, I asked if they left the 5ghz to defaults and no reply so far.
I have also set my Overclocking Frequency to 1200 in "Administration" "Management", I would not do this without a laptop cooler, and found no change in temp, just a test for now. If All works well for a few days I am going to put back my usb drive, and if I have to reboot the router every night I will set it up in the settings to do so.
I am going to stick with dd-wrt and hope they release a fixed version, I have now just come to hate Asus firmware, I tried going back and all I got was wifi drops, ps4 lag (tho I do get this with dd-wrt) BUT it is just easier to reboot the router in dd-wrt due to the quick response of the interface over Asus hand down.
NOTE:
What is the lag in 5GHz on Asus firmware (also in merlins, because he uses Asus firmware and fixes stuff for all of us, thank you merlin!)
I have an app on my IOS device (using wifi) that is a remote control for a LAN device (using a cable not wifi), at first the app connects within 20-40 second on Asus firmware, after 24 hours it could take 30-60 seconds, after that it may never find the LAN device at all, BUT if I reboot the router thru the web interface it will work fine / maybe but for some reason a software reboot just does not work fully for Asus firmware like a power cycle of the router.
Now I do not get this with dd-wrt at all, the app on the IOS device always finds the LAN device within 5-10 seconds ALWAYS. Now if I use Asus firmware and put my IOS device on the 2.4GHz the connection is 5-15 seconds always. Most importantly I can just about alway do a software reboot and trust it with dd-wrt
So this tells me Asus has a MAJOR flaw in their firmware, that was there since release day with this router, and I have tried them all.
EDIT:
I forgot one MAJOR important comparison.
When I reboot the router I have to eject the usb drive every time with Asus firmware or I have a good 75% chance the drive gets corrupted, but with dd-wrt to this day I have yet to corrupt the usb drive (most likely due to me rebooting the router thru the web interface that automatically ejects the drive, from what I have read) and even thru the random reboot I had with it, I still have no corruption on the usb drive, WOW.
