Ever since I tried flashing the AC3200 with r40065. My router hasn't been able to use the DD-WRT ANY firmware. I have tried r40137 & r40189

Basically ever since r40065 that firmware has disabled port 1 and WAN port, when I am on DDWRT firmware.

This is what I have done so far on resetting the NVRAM. Which still disable port1 and WAN Port.

1) Flash back to ASUS original firmware and did a 'nvram erase' and 'mtd-erase2 nvram'

2) DDWRT using reset back to factory and also 'nvram erase'

3) holding WPS

4) 30-30-30 Reset

5) I tried going back to r40009 firmware


none of that will let me use DDWRT correctly. Do note that running stock ASUSWRT firmware everything works perfectly fine. It's as if 'something' written by DDWRT isn't being erased correctly.

Any other suggestion would be appreciated.

Paste these commands and press the Run Commands button, router will restart.


nvram set vlan1ports="1 2 3 4 5*"
nvram set vlan2ports="0 5u"
nvram commit
reboot

Couldn't do it from the GUI.

I was able to use the ssh to reset the ports and it is working fine.

The funny thing is before I even issue those command I looked at the port variables. And they were listed correctly "1 2 3 4 5*" and "0 5u".

but either way I am just glad them ports works.

thanks!

Running commands from the webUI in an incorrect format will not work.

This works for me everytime, if you're on the right starting firmware, i.e., stock -> DD-WRT, DD-WRT -> stock and use the correct extensions, it hasn't failed me.

ASUS devices have a recovery mode to return to stock, I thought.

ASUS does, but CLEARLY it doesn't erase the NVRAM correctly

in DDWRT I use vlan tagging and trunking. whatever they changed in r40065 totally messed it up, as I have said in the OP.

even doing a nvram show | grep on the ports all the variables SAY it is at default.

So who knows, but writing the nvram manually solved my issue.. and I have it running again.
