Of course I hit "Apply". The issue is that once the firmware gets upgraded, it will stay up for a period of time. Then, if a reboot takes place, it loses all of its settings.
I wish my problem was as simply as not clicking "Apply" but that's not the case here.

for fun:
go through all you config pages and click "save" at the bottom of the page when finished with that page.
When all done with all pages, from the admin management page, click save once more for fun, then click apply. The router will reboot and all your settings should be there.
I don't click apply on individual pages unless I am changing something on a configured router. Sometimes it cause the router to reboot. In my case, the routers ip changes (in my setup) to a diff subnet then I cn no longer access it till I change my nic's ip. _________________ [Moderator Deleted]
Then perhaps your reset button is stuck in. There are a lot of people using rt-16 and no one is reporting that problem. If it were a dd-wrt problem, there would be many posts on it. So either you are not flashing properly, or there is something unique to your router. And why are you not using recommended builds, from the announcements.
Honestly, I didn't read the announcements or was not aware that there is a special build for this router.
I'll start over with a clean slate and see what happens.
Run this after you have configured everything and see if you're overflowing your nvram space.

After performing some of the suggestions to click on "Save" on the various configuration pages and click on "Apply Changes" at the end of it all which reboots the unit. I'm still having a problem where it runs for awhile, suddenly reboots, and loses everything and goes back to square one.
I checked my vram and it says:
size: 28475 bytes (4293 left)
...so I suspect that I haven't exhausted my vram.
I just purchased this router about 3 weeks ago and am starting to wonder if I have a bad unit. I've had these problems for about 2 weeks now but didn't spend the time until now to try and troubleshoot it.
Why not? You should be able to RMA it. _________________ Read the forum announcements thoroughly! Be cautious if you're inexperienced.
