Hi ...
Flashed Buffalo's WBR2-G54S to DD-WRT ... No problems there and the normal LAN side works just fine. Using the latest stabile version (?), 23 SP1 (dd-wrt.v23_sp1_standard, 16-05-06).
However, I cannot get the wireless working no matter what I do ...
I have otherwise default settings, I have just changed the SSID name. So SSID broadcast is on, security is off and so on. And naturally wireless network mode is "Mixed" meaning that is on in the first place ..
WBR box has been rebooted after the upgrade, but I cannot get the WIRELESS led on at the WBR's front panel. And neither does my laptop find any wireless networks around. Used to work before putting the DD-WRT in.
Ideas?
So like mentioned, I see no Wireless light in front panel, but however the the red DIAG light is on (which I read elsewere that is normal?) and also the AOSS (yellow) light..
Try to upgrade to latest SP2. Also check if you router is detected as Buffalo (Info page or Status Router page)
Wireless led works only when there is some data transfer in progress.
I do not know how and why, but I got the system working. I reseted back to factory settings, rebooted the box once and it worked now. Strange that I had already done those before and it didn't start to work then ...
Anyway, receiving the signal now just fine with all security settings on etc. I would consider the signal to be much better now than with original Buffalo's firmware - I had some problems with signal strenth with it previously.
One bug in the control panel software with Firefox though.. (works with IE). When I try to set new settings for WLAN from page Wireless->Basic settings, pressing "save settings", all I get is a blank page and nothing happens. On IE this works just normally so I suspects its some javascript error what the GUI seems to use a lot ..?
