Router/Version: Linksys MR7500
File/Kernel: DD-WRT v3.0-r62606 std (11/12/25) / Linux 6.6.116-rt29 #4533 SMP Wed Nov 12 03:59:23 +07 2025 aarch64
Previous/Reset: DD-WRT v3.0-r62508 std (11/02/25) / No
Mode/Status: WAP, VLANs, SSH
Issues/Errors: Smooth firmware upgrade with the web interface. Problems with mounting the USB drive are finally gone! Partitions are mounted automatically, no bootloop any more. Thanks, BrainSlayer!
The new shell prompt (r62588) is a bit too fancy for my taste.
Free/available memory is very low, even immediately after reboot. It makes sense to use a swap partition (in my case 6 MB of swap space got used during entware installation).
Code:
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 380420 293772 19112 0 78808 86648
Swap: 1101820 0 1101820
Router/Version: Dynalink DL-WRX36
File: first install done through USB mode (see wiki for details).
Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r62606 std (11/12/25)
Kernel: Linux Linux 6.6.116-rt29 #4533 SMP Wed Nov 12 03:59:23 +07 2025 aarch64
Mode: Gateway, SFE disabled, 2.4G (20MHz mixed, WPA2 Personal, WPA3 Personal / SAE - CCMP-128 (AES)) and 5G (80MHz AX / AC / N Mixed, WPA3 Personal / SAE - CCMP-128 (AES)) wifi, bridged VAP on 2.4GHz, Wireguard for external access, WAN disabled, disabled the Keep Alive reboot 6:02 in the morning for now, using my own local NTP
Reset: yes, nvram erase and nvram commit, then reboot after first install.
Status: Installed yesterday. So far working good with my devices.
1) Wireless --> Domain set to Germany results in TX Power for 2.4GHz Wireless to be capped at 14 dBm instead of 20 dBm. (Panama has no cap at 14).
2) Some MAC Address aren't right. LAN1-4 are correct others are generic 00:00:00:00:00:05, 6, 7 and so on.
Maybe both are related for me flashing the factory-to-dd-wrt.
Will report back after next update with regular file via GUI.

Thank you BS & Team.

Issues: No issue detected.
r62606 is the latest stable version deployed on my Netgear XR700/R9000.
(Note: Unless living in an area of heavily concentrated wifi signals, Noise Immunity should be turned off for signal stability on some devices, especially legacy ones. Wifi LEDs are working regardless of Noise Immunity status). _________________ Life is a journey; travel alone makes it less enjoyable and lonely.

2x Netgear R9000 & 2x XR700 Features:
- Gateway
- Overclocked -2000MHz
- SmartDNS, DDNS
- Both 5GHz & 2.4GHz using DDWRT (not Vanilla component)
- Private Home network on default br0 bridge together with vlan1 + wlan0 & 1
- Isolated port-based VLANS, placed on bridges + vAPs (wlan0.1 & 1.1) for guests & IoT devs)
- WireGuard Server for secure on-the-road access & remote control of devices @home
- OpenVPN Client for incognito & o/seas based programs

Issues/Errors:
Up 6 hours. USB 3.2 stick working properly for Entware and "jffs" partitions. Speed, wired and wifi, is very close to published, which is equal or favorable to the ISP router - tested via nPerf.com. Wireguard and OpenVPN servers both working as expected and throughput sufficient to open video files on network shares. 5GHz showing 22dBm (set to 27dBm). 2.4GHz showing 25dBm (also set to 27dBm).
Immediately after update, it went into a boot loop where it rebooted 4 times. On the 4th time, it stayed up. I thought maybe it had failed back to the other partition, but that was not the case. I still have one Echo Dot that won't connect to 5GHz on any build after r61848, but my older model of Dot connects fine. It's been stable for 6 hours, so we'll see.
Thank you Brainslayer.
60+ hours and still stable. I don't use NAS, though. _________________ Formerly dpp3530 Linksys MR7350

Well... this dynalink does exactly what I had with my MR7350 -.- (albeit its wifi being slightly better).
Uptime 14h. Yesterday and during nighttime everything was working.
This morning all devices I woke up (I disable wireless or start flightmode for all Androids before going to bed) complained about "no internet" via wireless 2.4 and 5GHz.
After a few minutes they got IPv4 access, but IPv6 still not possible.
But they received IPv4 (192.168...) and IPv6 (fdxy:
No traceroute, no iperf via IPv6, dns resolution still working for A and AAAA.
ipleak.net on those devices gave only global IPv4 and stated IPv6 not available, but showed internal private use and unique local v4 and v6 via WebRTC.
Also apps on my devices stated routes and both Adresses to be there.
Syslog looked okay but gave entries like this:
Code:
Nov 15 10:01:34.271 dynalink kern.warn kernel: [49234.529751] ath11k c000000.wifi: peer not found 40:45:da:23:6c:4e
Pressed save and apply somewhere on the Setup page and some devices came up working again.
But e.g all VAP deviced (which worked before pressing save&apply) disappeared.
Rebooted the Dynalink and ZERO DB Issue in log.
Rebooted it again and all fine again.
Can this be related to my main Gateway automatically reconnecting during nighttime?
At least this changes global IPv4/6.
But zero db issue? I thought the dynalink with double the ram would not not suffer this problem...
Maaaah, going the AX Route is hard.
At least I know my MR7350 and 7500 are not faulty, with dynalink having same struggle.
Gonna enable automatic reboot each night after planned reconnect for now.

Router/Version: TP-Link MR3220 v2 File/Kernel: factory-to-ddwrt.bin, 62606 Previous/Reset: Stock Firmware Mode/Status: Station Issues/Errors: Signal or connection drops/disconnects randomly
Hi,
The story:
1. First try to go from the stock to dd-wrt firmware resulted in boot loop.
2. Did TFTP with stripped firmware.
3. With try/error found a stable factory-to-ddwrt.bin.
4. Web flash to this build again resulted in boot loop.
5. Again I went to stock and back to factory-to-ddwrt.bin.
6. Finally I successfully installed and upgraded to build "r62540"
7. Now it is working in WISP mode.
The Wifi has been set to N-Only. My table disconnects randomly. The wifi icon disappears and again appears. Is it because of "N-Only"?
