Under Status Tab - Router Sub Tab
What is the Router Model and Firmware Version?

Good. Next step is to get rid of the WRT3200ACM firmware on the opposite partition. Until you do, you don't have the safety of a second partition to fall back on if something goes wrong.

Download the ddwrt-linksys-wrt32x-webflash.bin
from:
ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2018/06-29-2018-r36247/linksys-wrt32x/

In Administration Tab - Firmware Upgrade Sub Tab upgrade firmware with the file you just downloaded.

I have done that already. How does that change the other partition?

Every time you upgrade the firmware it flashes & reboots to the opposite partition. It's a safety feature of the WRT routers so you can easily recover from a bad flash.

Just the stock firmware. DD-WRT would be left on the (what is now) the opposite partition.

While Brainslayer added the 'return to factory firmware' feature in DD-WRT builds a while ago, I don't know if it's working on the WRT32X.

If Linksys firmware is unable to flash from DD-WRT GUI there is another way. However, it's slightly more complicated.

Well, lost it again; tried to upgrade to OpenWRT file you linked to earlier, but it won't reset after the 30-30-30 or 3x power switch...But then tried the 3x power switch again and it worked! Hmm.. Guess I'm stuck with this dd-wrt...

Do you know if I can use OpenVPN on the ddwrt operating as an access point (no DHCP)?

If not, how exactly to put the dd-wrt in bridge mode or AP mode?

Hi,

So, OpenVPN status doesn't show anything now (where it was showing something before; nothing has changed to the config).

I noticed this when my wireless stopped working, which I was only able to get back just recently (printing purposes), but still cannot print when both show valid IPs (computer and printer) with same gateway (10.0.1.1).

Any ideas?

UPDATE: Got Wireless Internet back on Printer and Computer, but still cannot print (even after running EpsonNetSetup again).

I just want to put this thing into access point mode as the OpenVPN status still shows nothing while the VPN settings are set correctly and were working earlier this week.

So, OpenVPN was due to expired credentials.

I still cannot print wirelessly with valid IPs on router and printer. So, I'm wondering if the DNSMasq options I set for the VPN are affecting it as I do not have AP isolation enabled.

Also, I can see the MAC address of the printer in the LAN and Wireless status pages.

I was able to print wirelessly by manually adding the printer and manually assigning it an IP with Epson Net Setup.
