I too suffer frequently from wireless bugs.
My SSID frequently dissappears from my notebook, so i get disconnected. Only option then is to repower the router to get wifi working again.
I tried almost every possible setup and this bug keeps reappearing.
Setting the channel to "auto" is defintely bad. Setting a manual channel is better.
On my wifi status page i also keep getting incrementing RX errors RX: 1000 / 30 bad
With previous 17xxx firmware this wasn't the case.
What about the TX and RX gains: i leave it to default 1+2+3, anyone with better suggestions ?
Another issue, why does wifi gets disconnected and the reconnected if I reconnect the WAN side (reconnect in status screen to get a new internet WAN ip adress)
I have the same problem also with r19342 build.
How I can fix this problem?
Many thanks
So i don't need to flash then to the latest version since the wifi drop outs are still there
When will this great unit get a descent dd-wrt firmware ?
The hardware is great (even running stock firmware), but without a stable fast dd-wrt firmware, we better go and buy and old WRT54G linux router.
It looks like bugs can't be solved on the atheros chipset.

With these settings seems stable but I have only 140 Mbps
