I am a novice. I have tried many methods, such as flashing the firmware from 2013 to the latest firmware supported by the machine, changing the interface, using a wired connection, modifying settings, turning off the firewall, using a key, and changing the algorithm of the SSH client... But it's very strange. Sometimes telnet can connect, but SSH cannot connect no matter what. Sometimes it prompts a connection refusal, and sometimes it prompts a software interruption

No details on exact build numbers, client device, client OS, client terminal program. No screenshots or other applicable amplifying information. SSH is not "advanced networking", moved to Broadcom for now, could be considered general topic as it applies to all devices.

Need to know the specific dd-wrt version you are using.
As of a couple years ago the supported ssh algorithm is ed25519 in dd-wrt.
After that if you still have problems then we need actual screen shots or code block captures of the errors. _________________ ARCHER-C7v5 | v3.0-r62460 std | AP Gateway
