Last firmware with working WiFi for me was r44213: every firmware after this one broke WiFi: the SSID is broadcasted, but if I try to connect it refuses the password. I have an open network for guests, and I can connect to it, but the authentication to WPA2 networks does not work anymore.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you.

I am having similar problems with Linksys WRT1900ACS V2 post 44213. I can connect with Security set (haven't tried no security), and seems to upload fine, but download seems to be painfully slow as best if there is data flow at all... One test on my 250M/12M cable give an result of 0.035M/12M transfer rates.

I do need to reset the 44213 connection at times as for some reason it seems to think it no longer has internet access on my cellphone, not sure what is happening there, but might be a hint.

My same router: If I try to connect to networks with security, devices ask me for password but once i insert it they say it's wrong!
I confirm too the need to reset sometimes connection with 44213.

I asked another member that had the 1900acs v2, not sure if they are good for all routers. I am trying them to see if they are stable with the older build, then I will update if they seem to hold.

I updated to 44340 (09/10/20) again, and same problems came back.

Rolled back to 44213 (08/18/20)

Me Wink

We compared settings, since my WiFi devices seemingly "just work".

A few minutes ago, I received a screenshot, every setting is similar except one:

@mazecreator's router has "Sensitivity Range (ACK Timing) set to 500 (default).
My device has the setting set to: 2000 (I do not remember altering this at all!).

Might this setting be related to the problems observed?

I'm running 44048 on my 1900ACSv1. ack timing is set to 0. I set it to 2000, ran a bunch of speedtests - all good. Then I upgraded to 44340, my macbook connected to channel 36 right away. All good for about a minute, then no network traffic. Same thing with my iphone. I disabled/re-enabled wifi on my macbook, and it connected to my 3200ACM running 44048 with a weaker signal. After a few minutes, my macbook connected to channel 11 on my 1900ACSv1, and there was no network at all. Wifi explorer shows the 1900ACSv1 advertising both channel 36 and 11 ok, and it looks like devices can connect, but then wifi hangs up immediately without traffic.

While the 1900ACSv1 was in this state running 44340, I'm able to get in thru the hardwired 3200ACM's wifi. I changed acked timing back to 0 on both radios on the 1900ACSv1, hit apply and it stopped responding to pings for more than a minute. It came back for a few seconds and I was able to capture a dmesg and syslog before it rebooted itself. Logs are below. When it came back, I fell back to 44048 and everything is running fine again.

Here's a section of syslog - nothing out of the ordinary.

Here's a section of dmesg after I tried to apply the ack timing change to both radios:

One additional idea:

Usually all my WiFi devices are in flight mode during night.
All DD-WRT devices have keep alive configured to reboot them early in the morning (at least one hour until my WiFi devices are in use again).

Does this additional time between WiFi is up and "someone tries to use it" help settle things out?
(On the other hand everything connects a few seconds after the WRT1900ACS v2 is rebooted by hand...).

Here are my settings with 44213. Sensitivity is set to 2000 for bot WPA2 networks.

Basic settings: https://i.imgur.com/bUAP0PT.png

Security settings: https://i.imgur.com/KnIgnNj.png

Anybody think there is any problematic setting for upgrade in my settings?

Auto setting for Channel selection is known to cause problems. Set this to one channel of your choice, to avoid connectivity issues.

Rest does look good to me (again on mobile, maybe I've missed another setting).

Was having 5GHz issues with all the latest builds. v3.0-r44048 was fine for me, and today I had problems for the first time. Was up for 28 days without issues.

Reverted back to v3.0-r41102 std (09/22/19)

28 days without reboot?
Any log entries available from before the downgrade?

44406 has resolved all WiFi issues.
I kept automatic channel setting for my networks.
Thank you very much!

Did not save them, working from home so did not have time to try diagnose. I will try the latest build tonight and see how that performs.
