Upgraded WRT1900AC v1 from r44048 to r47086 via web interface
No issues with the upgrade.
Successful update and reboot.
No reset
run time - 12 hours +
Wired connections - no issues
Wifi connections - disconnected after about an hour. Disabled and enabled wifi on mobile works okay.
However changed the default Beacon Interval to 100 and the DTIM Interval to 2
currently no wireless drop out - running 6hrs +
Hi, I have the same router as you. Been up five minutes on this version. I looked at the two settings you mentioned thinking I would try them if I had an issue. However, my default values for those two are 100 and 2. If I do a factory reset, they are still 100 and 2.
Are your values something else by default? Looks like those settings are only on the physical interfaces.

Beacon Interval 100, and DTIM Interval 2 are the defaults settings. Changing these settings never help my WRT3200ACM wifi interface with devices any better. Picking another wifi channel is the better setting to change.

I don't have any Apple clients. Hey maybe this will also help all the other random Android devices that also drops wifi connections. Apple recommends a DTIM setting of at least 3 surely after all these years using the WRT3200ACM someone would have shared this fix a long time ago. Or is it a fix 🤔. Maybe its an improvement 🤔. Did the user comment with use of Apple devices changes to DTIM helped, or are we speculating its a Apple issue 🤔. With build r44048 Beacon Interval 100, and DTIM Interval 2 are the default setting, and most Apple, and Android users had mostly reliable wifi. Sounds like false hope.

This fact is mentioned all over the internet and dd-wrt forums. Apple advice is for any router, to improve battery life over wifi from analysis they made on their products (which uses intel and qualcomm stuff, which exists for practically any wireless device brand). Which clearly will also affect any wireless device connected to it. It's not a fix, is a fine tune setting that some find usefull, some want the interface wake all the time (like wireless gamers yuk).
In this pandemic era, where people mostly stay at home, I find this usefull to not leave devices in the charger because they go full promiscuous with the radio. _________________ Linksys WRT3200ACM

I have been using that settings more than a year from what I remember. I don't see any problems on that, maybe it's a placebo if this settings don't truly change anything behind scenes for dd-wrt. But at least is not a downside.

By way of a quick review, it's the Beacon Interval moving off of the default 100 that leads to huge issues with these routers. No problem changing DTIM in my experience. _________________ 2x Netgear XR500 and 3x Linksys WRT1900ACSv2 on 53544: VLANs, VAPs, NAS, station mode, OpenVPN client (AirVPN), wireguard server (AirVPN port forward) and clients (AzireVPN, AirVPN, private), 3 DNSCrypt providers via VPN.
