I purchased a pair of 3200s a month ago to replace a pair of wrt54g I am using as a wireless bridge. The 'official' dd-wrt firmware did function in bridge mode, but suffered from the long list of serious issues in this thread, with the lockups after only a few hours or minutes being the showstopper for me. I've been trying BS's builds, which by now seem to have solved all the serious issues for me on the access point side (range, SSID disappearing, clients connecting put not able to pass traffic, bandwidth decreasing over time), but I haven't been able to get one working in bridge mode in weeks. I know BS is still working hard on various issues (and I deeply appreciate the efforts of him and other contributors), so I'm just patiently waiting for bridge mode to make it to the top of the list, as I doubt there are a lot of people using it in that mode.



as mentioned earlier already. the current marvell driver still does not work in client mode, wds or whatever you may like. that sucks yes. they wrote that they are working on in, but nobody knows when its done. the older driver which we used up to march does support client mode and wds sta (do never use client bridge if you can use wds ap and wds sta, its simply faster and is a real bridge unlike client bridge)
the problem is just the older driver sucks at all and is totally unstable on the wrt3200acm

Do you know if WRT3200ACM has hardware NAT implemented ? If so, is there any way to benefit from it ?

hw nat isnt implemented. i also dont know if its available. but hw nat will also prevent filtering and custom qos. but however the cpu is that fucking fast that you dont need to take care about it. you can do nat with full gbit speed

For me, client mode is working starting from this version.

So you're essentially saying this isn't true?

I Really doubt you have Client Mode working or else you discovered something BS didn't know? not very likely.

Installed r32149 yesterday.

Still having guest ath1.1 connection issues on the 2.4 band. Some devieces connect to ath1.1 fine, others do not. Devices can connect on ath1 while ath1.1 is up, so that's good. The guest settings on ath1.1 are mirrored from my WRT1900ACS, so they should be correct.

I'll play with it tomorrow and see what I can do.

I was having problems getting devices to connect to my 2.4 after four other devices connected to my ath1.1 (have some smart home devices connecting to guest on a regular basis but still need the 2.4 range at home for my network devices). Like for you, the update fixed this problem. I did have to put my 2.4 settings to BG Mixed and Full 20 MHz and select a channel to get everything connecting consistently, however. It's no serious loss to me because I connect to 5 GHz of most of my networking. I hope this helps.

I was able to make it work over the ath2 port. Ath1 did connect to the guest gateway but didn't transfer any data.

sure its possible. the new driver has some driver enhancements which covers the multiple ssid issue, but there was also a new firmware introduced. nobody knows whats changed inside

i hope wmm was enabled on 2.4. normally there shouldnt be a issue with 2.4. both chipsets are using the same driver and firmware
