I'm running r35927 on a Archer C7 v2 and am looking to upgrade to a newer build.
I've been having troubles where guest networks wouldn't work and when trying to switch back from a VPN setup the router crashes. I also tried to backup and restore router configurations within the same build and it also crashed my build and I had to reset to defaults.
So what's the next stable build after r35927 with good VPN and guest network support?

Hey all hoping for some insight from more experienced users. I have been running v3.0-r37305 on my V4 archer C7 without issue on Lan for some time now. Recently the connection has been disconnecting the reconnecting with alarming frequency. This is very frustrating for things like online gaming. I cannot think of anything that I have done with the pc that is on the LAN network to cause this and it started happening seemingly out of the blue? The PC itself has a static IP which rules out any DHCP lease time or renewal issues. Even more curiously is that during the daytime the connection is fine and only around 8:30 pm to 12:00 am does the connection d/c the reconnect.. any ideas? Sorry I know this isn't a lot of information to go off of but I'm getting pretty desperate, if there are any screenshots that would help identify the issue please let me know!
Try 38507 as the new "stable" to start with. Looking back at the changelist iirc, that was when the new ath10k driver was updated, solving many issues for a lot of people.
However, that doesn't mean it works with everything else. I had 2 units on 38326, but devices on the 2nd one occasionally dropped from LAN, both static or DHCP. Updated gateway to 38507 and removed second one. Been testing 38507 with an uptime over 14 days now, and I haven't had that lan issue yet, so going to reinstall 2nd unit and update it to 38507 as well.
There are a couple minor iterative updates post 38507 related to the Archer C7, but they don't seem to be important for common issues listed in the past dozen or so pages in this thread. Perhaps that will change, but that's merely my cursory examination. YMMV. You're always welcome and encouraged to use the current version and report back to us and on it's thread on how reliable it is with your model router. _________________ Testing 2x TP-Link Archer C7 v2 with 38326

Sorry but the latest version I can find in the router database for V4 is 37305? Is there another place to download the latest firmware? Or can I install the V2 firmware onto the V4 model?
hi all!i'm totally newbie and unfortunately disabled and i want someone to help me/guide me setting up my new router in order to have vpn in all me connected devices.i bought this "TP-Link Archer C7 AC1750 Dual Band Gigabit Wireless Cable Router, Wi-Fi Speed Up to 1300 Mbps/5 GHz + 450 Mbps/2.4 GHz, 4 Gigabit LAN Ports, 1 USB Port, Supports Parental Control, Guest Wi-Fi, VPN" from amazon.
Hello, I own C7 v5 router with DD-WRT v3.0-r37961 std (12/12/1 firmware.
I have tried updating to the latest beta version, but when I load newest bin file in Administration-->firmware upgrade and starts upgrade process, nothing happens, I lose cp page and LEDs on the router starts blinking randomly...
After waiting, I have to manually turn off then turn it back on to get back to normal...
So, am I doing something wrong?

Archer C7 v2.
Trying to get Flashrouters Privacy App running, which should be an easy way to change vpn servers. (Are there any alternative ways?)
Install script for Privacy App(using ssh) throws few errors:
sh: uuencode: not found
sh: chown: not found
Flashrouters Privacy Apps WebUI doesn´t connect to vpn and and log viewer in UI shows me(openvpn.log):
ERROR: username from Auth authfile '/tmp/root/flashr-mypage/credentials.txt' is empty
Exiting due to fatal error
I was able to install chown using opkg, but I can´t figure out how to install uuencode. I think it should be included in busybox, but it´s not there. I tried also copying busybox-mips from https://busybox.net/downloads/binaries/1.21.1/ to /opt/bin and chmod 777 busybox-mips and running it ./busybox-mips and i got error:
illegal instruction (wrong binary?)
I also tried mipsel binary and got error:
-sh: ./busybox-mipsel: Permission denied
I also tried to mv those to /tmp and got same errors.
Where can i get uuencode and is lack of it the reason why privacy app throws errors? Should i compile it or something?
I´m new to DD-WRT and last time i used Linux is 10 years ago. Now running dd-wrt 36808, also tried 38507 and 40459.
firmware.
