its a driver issue in the DDWRT firmware from what others have reported

I ended getting the TP Link WDR3600 and installed DDWRT. I tried the EA2700 but I didn't like it that much. I disliked the smart wifi firmware, I disliked you needed an account to sign in and when you put it into AP mode half the features are gone. I also never liked the way they implemented the...

I believe I did, a week or so ago but really can't remember (tried so many different settings). I don't believe the cause is the Guest SSID as I have found other reports with this same issue on the DDWRT forums today. I tried 3 new settings today and it seems like its better but will see after a...

I turned off 5GHz as I know the issue is with the 2.4GHz band. Although you are right about the main SSID working since the guest SSID relies on the WAN port this is not the case with DDWRT. The guest network its its own VLAN so it has its own DHCP server and is completely isolated from the...

its the same, it's just weird internet lag and only seems to happen to few android devices from what I can tell. It's to hard to pin point if the issue is occurring on other devices because the delay only last 30 seconds or so.

This was just one example, the HTC One also has similar issues. Also I did google Note 3 wifi issues but never came across an article to turn mobile data off. Most settings just said to turn off wifi power save mode which never worked. Lastly turning off mobile data had zero effect. Router shows...

wifi is not on on the main router, second router is configured as an access point and DHCP is handled by the main router. Since its running DDWRT I have mapped the WAN port as a switch. I don't think clients are flip flopping between 2.4/5GHz based on the status page of the router, prior to me...

I need some help with a weird issue with wifi. I have a main router in the basement and then another on the second floor that acts as a WAP to the main one. At first I thought it was the WAP so i tried a few different routers over the course of a month and all exhibit similar issues. Both...

It seems like it will be a vast improvement, as long as the single reaches the bedroom up stairs I will be happy. I guess I'll just have to order and see. I just need to find it around $100 in Canada.

I forgot to add the Linksys cloud firmware does not let you hide the SSID so yeah I think this unit is going back for sure. I know hiding the SSID really doesn't do much but it's just the way I always did it and just prefer it that way.

It's not that I don't trust my family or friends, its just harder for them to connect to my main network because its a hidden SSID, really complex password etc. On the other hand the guest network is visible with a strong but not complex password that is easy to remember. It's more of a...

so Asuswrt-merlin will be able to do everything I stated above? Custom scripts (mainly shell) is very important and if it can do that I would suspect everything else will be there as well. I have a few media streamers that once are turned on also wake up my media server. This script runs on my...

Any comments if this will work for me?

I'm thinking of picking up a AC router and wondering if the Asus ones will fit my needs? I need one that supports ddwrt or will the merlin firmware allow similar functionality? What I need: Ability to run custom scripts Good wifi range on both 2.4/5GHz Gigabit LAN Guest mode (control...

I'm in the same boat but don't want to spend above $100, as I'm waiting for AC to become the norm and hopefully by then there will be plenty with OpenWRT/DDWRT support. If I was to spend the $$ now i thing the best out there is the Asus routers (AC66u) in terms of range and performance...
