I wonder if someone could help me connecting a D-Link DSL-320B ADSL modem to an Archer C9 (with DD-WRT). The Archer works fine connected to a cable modem but I am now trying to connect to an ADSL modem as above. The ADSL modem is working fine in that I can connect a computer via a wired connection to it and see the internet, but I can't get anything via the Archer.
You need to set the D-Link modem to 'bridge mode' and do nothing else with the modem, you will lose any connection but just run a cable from a modem lan port
To the wan (internet) port of the C9, Bring up the gui
of the C9 and set it to PPPOE, put your username and password in the C9 (not the modem) set everything else up as normal.
Hook it up and reboot the router, everything should just work,

I tried this but I think it didn't work because my Isp (BT) uses PPOA rather than PPOE which the Archer doesn't support
what gave you that conclusion? there have been dd-wrt builds working with this router atleast since April. _________________ Please state what make and model router plus the build number and type of DD-WRT you are using.

This very thread. I see people have put on dd-wrt, but then state this or that is not working. Thus the question is " is there a stable build ". I could have possibly missed it.
If possible could you please supply the link. As listed in this forum the C9 does not show up in the TP-LINK router page for dd-wrt (spreadsheet).
Also there are questions of reverting the C9 to back to stock TP-Link firmware. Is that available?
read a few pages back of this thread or read the info in my signature.
as for what;s "stable", dd-wrt has been in perpetual beta for years. most features work across all routers, some routers have quirks and bugs. it;s up to you to find the version that works for your situation. my Archer C9 is working well for me with the version I have loaded on it. Even figured out a work around for running Samba-seems to not load automatically.
as for reverting back to the tp-link firmware, it seems to now be possible(as of last week) if you open up the unit and use a serial-uart adapter to flash some user modified files. info about that is contained in another thread specific to that. _________________ Please state what make and model router plus the build number and type of DD-WRT you are using.

I see you are using - TP-Link Archer C9 on 3.x 27490 STD
How can I find that release? Your link is full of folders and no search function.
Also did you list your work-a-round? Can you provide a link to it?
I saw that you have to get a serial-uart adapter to get back to stock. That might be a bit out of my league, plus it's something extra you have to get.
page 3 of this thread has the work around for loading Samba at boot time.
Page 6 I detailed that I had success loading ftp at boot time as well. I use this to dump images from my security camera via ftp. _________________ Please state what make and model router plus the build number and type of DD-WRT you are using.

Did you have the wifi dropping intermittent in TP-Link Archer C9 on 3.x 27490 STD?
One problem appears that development has stalled on this
router.
It 's not possible to select a channel that is the most vacant, just goes to auto and appears to only select a low number in both bands.
the wifi on my C9 seems to be working well. The range on this device is pretty good. I have my channel set to auto since I don;t have alot of competing routers around me. no issue with drops that I can tell. try 27490 and see if it makes a difference.
Also, unless you are in a severely congested apartment building, try with the defaults first. _________________ Please state what make and model router plus the build number and type of DD-WRT you are using.

was having issues flashing DD-WRT onto my Archer C9.
kept receiving this message:
"Error code: 18001 Upgrade unsuccessfully because the length of the upgraded file is incorrect. Please check the file name. archer c9"
realized after trying for an hour that I should revert my firmware to the oldest factory firmware.
