Installed via Edge without issue on all three of my routers (below). All settings retained. _________________ Linksys WRT32X v1 - r45677
Linksys WRT1900AC v1 - r45677
TP-Link Archer C9 v1 - r45677
Firmware: ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2021/
Upgraded from 44048 without issues via GUI - no reset.
Issues: Wifi is still unreliable for me with Apple devices. Performance is great and stable for a while but then wifi connections go into a zombie state on iphones and macbooks. I can usually trigger it within a few minutes by running some speedtests. Somebody else posted a theory that multiple Apple devices at the same time can knock each other out - this may be true. I can run a speedtest from an iphone and a macbook at the same time and there is a good chance one of their wifi connections will hang. I tried matching some wifi settings with the poster above (turbo QAM disabled, RTS/CTS disabled) but no luck.
On Apple devices, wifi stays connected (wifi stats are being updated like RSSI, tx rate, mcs index etc) but all IP traffic stops flowing between the device and WAP. It happens to multiple devices at the same time for different people in the same room. Recycling the wifi on the client fixes it right away but it doesn't last long. Nothing in dmesg or syslog. When you recycle the wifi on the Apple device to fix it, syslog on the router just shows a "disassociated" message and then the normal conversation to reestablish the wifi connection.
Fell back to 44048. As somebody else mentioned, the restore function does not work so I had to restore settings from a backup once the device was running 44048.
Wireguard client: Using Mullvad client config following parts of Hellakenut's "idiots guide for commercial clients" and egc's updated guide to eliminate the startup script.
