Unless you had something to debug, one could ignore all *.info messages in syslog, maybe by
Code:
grep -v ".info" /var/log/messages
Option "-v" for grep means "not". _________________ Router: Asus RT-N18U (rev. A1)

Not entirely what I was getting at. Networking was cycling without me doing any network-related config changes and applying settings (that I recall)... I've rebooted since then, and currently at 1 Day, ~18 hours uptime with no repeat occurrences. Could've just been an anomaly, of course, I may have done some things and forgot I had.

I tried everything.
- Dirty flash on top of a older build;
- 30/30/30 before, then flash, then 30/30/30 again;
- reset factory by software;
Nothing helps, it keeps doing that. I need to go back to 2016 or early 2017 builds to have a stable connection.
Wireless*/wland I haven't had much issue with either, except for the wireless WPA2/GTK re-key interval seeming to break Windows / wi-fi. 35531; 35927 and up have been pretty good for me otherwise. Which build are you currently using?

That log is from r36168.
Every time a new build comes out I try it to see if it works. But I end up going back to r30*** or so to have it working...

Are you using a K2.6 or K3.x build? I had a weird cycling issue at first, or so my syslog seemed to indicate, but it wasn't every 5 minutes. Of course, I am not using DDNS, UPnP, or DNSMasq, among other things. I've yet to find the magic configuration to switch to DNSMasq, and honestly I have no need to use it, so I gave up. I've been using K3.x builds since 35531. K2.6 30880 was pretty good 'out of the box' for me, though. Try setting your re-key interval to 0, apply settings, reboot. I haven't tried to switch back to the default 3600 yet in this build.

I'm using K3.x.
DNSMasq comes enabled by default. DDNS and UPnP are on because I need them, but, even with those off the reboot happens. I already tried 30/30/30 and left it working without changing anything and it happens...every 5 minutes!

DNSMasq doesn't seem to want to work for me, wouldn't even lease IP addresses in this build. Wondering if maybe that is part of your problem. UDHCPD seems to work fine for me.

Hi. I am new to flashing dd wrt. I have managed to install a DD WRT firmware but now if I want to go back to stock firmware I am unable to do that. When I flash the stock firmware it flashed without any problem but when I enter the setup page DD WRT firmware loads up. Could you kindly help me out and tell me what am I doing wrong.
Notes: 1. SFE accelerated NAT is in 33006+ builds but only in kernel 3.10 and newer 2. krack fixes for Broadcom were completed in r33678, including k26 (33655) & k24 (33656); use build 33772 or later.
3. Bridge modes on k4.4 devices may sometimes work in some configurations in certain builds but are not supported by the bcmdhd driver. Use client or repeater instead as WDS doesn't work with Broadcom ARM either (see Issue #5 below).
Tickets closed as 'fixed' (Broadcom-related and general):
Important: if any issues are found, please provide log info (GUI syslog, `dmesg`, `cat /var/log/messages`).
Or put in SVN ticket. For firewall issues, also provide "iptables" info (`iptables -L`, `iptables -t nat -L`, & the /tmp/.ipt file).

Hi. I am new to flashing dd wrt. I have managed to install a DD WRT firmware but now if I want to go back to stock firmware I am unable to do that. When I flash the stock firmware it flashed without any problem but when I enter the setup page DD WRT firmware loads up. Could you kindly help me out and tell me what am I doing wrong.
My router is Netgear r6400
I'm not entirely familiar with your device, but I did find this thread:
Router/Version: Linksys E4200 v1
Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r36168 mega ( 06/20/18 )
Kernel: Linux 3.10.108-d2 #19640 Wed Jun 20 18:06:53 CEST 2018 mips
Previous: Linksys1.0.06 build 3 ( 05/20/14 )
Firmware file used:dd-wrt.v24-36168_NEWD-2_K3.x_mega-e4200.bin
Reset;No
Mode: Gateway/AP
Status: OK
Issues/Errors:
De-bricked!
By way of dd-wrt.v24-21061_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini-e4200.bin, dd-wrt.v24-30880_NEWD-2_K2.6_mega-nv60k.bin, dd-wrt.v24-36168_NEWD-2_K2.6_mega-nv60k.bin, and finally dd-wrt.v24-36168_NEWD-2_K3.x_mega-e4200.bin...
i didn't have 35531 mega k2.6 to step to after 30880 or the initial 21676 mini E4200 k2.6 on my MacBook, but all went well. Not touching defaults and soft reset until the final K3.x 36168 flash seemed to work just fine. Will keep an eye on logs to see if issues arise with nas, etc.
EDIT: Only issue so far is with webGUI basic wireless settings page. Seems to want to default to auto channel and not allow channel selection after initial reboot without 'save' or 'apply settings' first. I don't think this is a 'new' issue, and probably tied to forgetting to reset after flash via GUI when I went from K2.6 to K3.x ...
EDIT#2: Which also broke DNSMasq (or Windows), apparently. "Error resolving host"...
EDIT#3: Reverted to DNSMasq being disabled and using udhcp as DHCP server, continuing to test WPA2/GTK re-key interval at 3600...
EDIT#4: WPA2/GTK re-key interval eventually causes disconnects. Set interval to 0 and rebooted at around 18 hours or so uptime, will see if the disconnects disappear. Things get a little buggy after the loopback error message and then eventually things just crap out altogether, especially if an ntp cyclic update fails.
