I have a WRT1900ACS v2 that I tried to flash in order to get better VLAN functionality.

Unfortunately I flashed it with the WRT1900AC v2 firmware due to the lack of the ACS v2 on the "router database". Then I discovered the ftp server, where I found the correct firmware. Original firmware is still present at boot partition 1 (verified with the sysinfo.cgi). When I try to power cycle to change partition, the power light blinks for a while, the same with a few other lights and then it seems it is restarting again into boot partition 1 and the original firmware is regained.

I tried to reflash with the correct firmware from the ftp server (ACS v2), but it seems again to revert back to the original boot partition after a while. I also verified this by performing yet another power cycle. I would somehow expect this to work however so I am a bit surprised it does not.

Is the cable the only option to regain boot partition 2?

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

What version of stock firmware are you on and what version of dd-wrt did you try to flash? I assume you used the factory-to-ddwrt.bin rather than the webflash.bin.

EDIT: try a <32MB sized factory-to-ddwrt.bin like build 34311.

Hi flagre. I have had great success flashing from WRT1900ACSv2 factory firmware version 2.0.2.188405 to BrainSlayer's "beta" release 38159. Did it with four routers. From there I webflashed to 39144 without difficulty. Since I started with new routers, this put 38159 in the smaller of the two partitions, so at least with that version, partition choice is not an issue. I'm pretty sure I've run 39144 in each partition as well at one point or another. FWIW.

Totally new here and all I can find is "BETA" downloads for this router. Is it safe to say there stable? I've read post's where one person says his MBP and iPad cannot see the router when he selects the hide SSID. This is the closest I can find in searching the database.

Any and all assistance is appreciated.

Thank you

IGNORE THE DATABASE. Sorry for the shout, but it's important for you. The database is seriously obsolete. The "betas" are the current releases. The catch is that not every release is solid on all routers or in all respects. The "new build" threads in this forum is where you see whether a given release appears solid on a given router.

Also, that's why I mentioned what versions I am successfully using on the WRT1900ACSv2, to give you a heads up on a couple of versions that have been trouble free for me on several of these routers. The caveat is that my configurations, even though they are fairly involved, may or may not test every feature you plan to use. So any beta version has risk. But so do the obsolete versions from the database, which are apt to be missing many security improvements that have been successful in the beta releases for awhile.

It is true that connecting iOS devices to hidden SSIDs has been a problem in recent releases. I have no experience with it though, as I never hide SSIDs. My understanding is that hiding them is a bad idea for a variety of reasons. Easy to google.

And don't use firmware labeled with a version that is merely almost a match for your hardware. If you have a WRT1900ACSv2, you need firmware for that exact router. Neither the S nor the v2 is optional.

Good luck.

Thank you for the reply. So there isn't a dedicated area to download NON Beta release's and you have to search to find a stable release for any router?

You are correct. My understanding is that there has not been a nonbeta release in many years. Apparently the very idea of having them has been abandoned.

I've got a brand new wrt1900acsv2.

I haven't been able to find a build ( at ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/ ) that doesn't crash for my usage profile:

1. If the throughput to WAN is high (~50Mbit) and my local host is on wifi, crash is about an hour.
2. If the throughput is low, no crash.
3. If the throughput is high, but the local host is connected by ethernet cable, no crash.

The only thing unusual about my setup is that one of the radios ( 2.4 Ghz ) is in client mode, and one ( 5 Ghz ) is in AP mode. ( The "internet" at my apt is the wifi signal from my landlord downstairs. )

Builds I've tried:

r39144
r39956
r40009

Any guidance would really be appreciated!

I hope you've solved this, but just in case...

I run 39144 in a WRT1900ACSv2 configured as a travel router with 2.4 GHz in client mode and 5 GHz in AP mode, just as you do. I also have 2 45GHz VAPs on it, so three SSIDs altogether. Two of the three go through the OpenVPN client using PBR. Using two dnscrypt servers as well. So a fairly involved config. I did have some weird crashiness once, noticed that the CPU temp was on the high side at around 75C, and decided to sit the router on top of a fan (https://www.newegg.com/p/0SS-0082-00016) blowing upward. There have been no more crashes.

My son's WRT1900ACSv2 also got weird until we put a fan under it. It actually rebooted into the wrong partition. As a result of these two experiences, three of the other four WRT1900ACSv2's in my world are now similarly run with fans. Eventually we'll probably put the fourth on a fan also.
