Hello:

After successfully upgrading this unit with DD-WRT, was able to log in the web-gui with new password setup. Connection to internet was very brief, since then, it can only connect between the router and pc. The internet connection is having a problem with this message - cannot communicate with DNS server.
Can anyone help me how to trouble shoot this issue?

Your support is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Try this:
- Get a screenshot(s) of your router's Status > WAN page and your computer's TCP/IP dialog page.
Attach it here, so we can see your settings.

-Set the router's Wireless Mode = AP. Save.
-In Setup > MAC Address Clone page, Enable it, and Get Current PC MAC address.
-Save, and apply settings. Wait until it's done.

-Unplug Internet modem, router, and make sure Windows Network Connection for your adapter for TCP/IP is set to automatically obtain an IP and DNS server address.

-Disable Windows Network Connection temporarily.

-Plug-in Internet modem, and wait 1 min until modem re-initializes and blinking lights settles down.

-Plug-in router, and wait 1 min for the same above reason.
The router should automatically get its Gateway and two DNS numbers from your ISP provider.

-Enable your Windows Network Connection client.

----------------------------------------------------------
- Go to DD-WRT router(probably 192.168.1.1) in browser, go to Status > WAN page.
- Copy or write down the IP number, subnet, Gateway number, and the two DNS 1 & 2 numbers.

- Go to Setup > Basic Setup page
- Enter the two DNS numbers into the Static DNS 1 & 2 fields.
- Optional: Enter your router's Gateway number for Static DNS 3.
- Make sure DHCP Server = Enable.

- Save, and apply settings

- Disable your computer's network adapter connection, and re-enable it.
- Open browser, and see if you can access the Internet.

- Report the results.

- Get a screenshot(s) of your router's Status > WAN page and your computer's TCP/IP dialog page.
Attach it here, so we can see your settings.

Follow your instructions, after two attemps, it worked for about four minutes and then lost connection. Tried again, though it reconnected showing with active internet status, I cannot access the internet at all. After a few clicks, the internet status was gone and it gave me same the old message that I encountered. Plugged in my old RangeMax, my connection was immediately picked up. My WHR-G300N worked perfectly fine before I flashed it with DD-WRT using the latest version 13064. I am not a technical guy and may have done something incorrectly to get it running. Will attach the screenshots of my settings for you to review.

Thanks.

Look in the WHR-G300N main thread to see if a newer build is available for your specific router model.

On the Airlink AR670W, Build 13064 caused the LAN ports to get mis-directed to an unknown destination.
So there is a newer build 13069 for the Airlink routers.
