Hi guys, i have a Linksys WRT 3200ACM router that had a custom dd-wrt firmware installed in order to use vpn. All went fine (apart from the slow wi-fo connections) but the weirdest thing that happened was the router going back to the factory firmware by itself. One of the mornings i realised the router was not showing the usual WI-FI names, instead was showing the factory ones. I went in the settings and i was shocked to see the change. Shocked because nobody ever set it to change back to factory.
Any of you ever encountered this before?

You are posting in the wrong forum.

This is a Marvell based unit which has a dual boot setup so it can boot back to the other partition.

Thank you so much, and apologies for posting in the wrong group. Maybe an admin could help me movie it to the right group please?

Also, this means, there is an actual dd-wrt system still installed on the router? If so, how can i boot to the custom one?

No need for apologies, we are here to help Smile
The Marvell forum knows how to switch between partitions, if the moderators do not move this thread just ask there.
