giles02134 To answer your question about retaining configuration after upgrade:
As long as you don't choose a reset in the Firmware Upgrade Sub Tab your settings will be kept and applied to new build. _________________ DD-WRT Installation & Setup TUTORIAL http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=311117

Thanks very much. That's what I've assumed from reading through your notes and others, but I wasn't certain.
In your experience, is that "Best Practice"? Or do you prefer a reset after upgrade, and then re-enter all the settings? It wouldn't be the end of the world if I had to do that...just inconvenient.

I haven't reset since about 10 builds ago and I've never had a problem.
My setup isn't very elaborate. It would only take around 10-15 minutes for me to re-enter everything.
Awhile back I took a screenshot of each page in the GUI just in case I need to refresh my memory.

I was using ac1900 as opposed to ea6900. It seems to take the ea6900 april 4-24-r31899. I will use it and see if the problems persist. I was getting disconnected like crazy.
Thank you for your help

Spur, this is my main problem. It will not let me upgrade nor downgrade to anything. I tried webflash as well as factory-dd-wrt images, reset, everything
My bad, I thought you were trying to upload Linksys firmware from GUI in much older build.
I’m not all that familiar with the EA6900, but I don’t think it has separate partitions. Only the WRT series.
