I have not flashed my WRT1900AC yet. I'll be home later this (Sunday) afternoon / evening and my plan is to swap the WRT32X for the WRT1900AC v1 so I can get the WRT32X flashed via u-boot.
I'll begin testing as soon as possible and update when I do. Sorry for the delay!
I need to re-read all the posts, but does this about sum it up?
Only one person has had any reboots (2)
Several people are having an issue with ath1 missing
Most are experiencing poor wireless speeds on 5GHz

Upgraded from 31924 to 33772 with webflash. Did not reset.
5GHz wasn't available and LED was OFF.
*This has happened before on previous builds. Usually making any change to Wireless Settings of the opposite radio from the problem one will bring it back.
Sometimes a reboot is also necessary.
Changed both ath0 & ath1 to auto channel and rebooted.
5GHz back to normal
I have Samba and OpenVPN Client running with no problems so far.
One weird issue with 33772 that I have only experienced with post 31924 builds is interference coming across desktop computer speakers.
Sounds similar to a distant helicopter's rotors.
Started before I even hooked up WAN cable from modem.
*Turned speakers OFF to preserve sanity.
As of now uptime is 50 minutes and everything seems ok. I'll update tomorrow afternoon. Sooner if there is a change. _________________ DD-WRT Installation & Setup TUTORIAL http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=311117

Rebooted at about 6:00 hours uptime and then again a few minutes later.
I was in the middle of deleting a very large folder from NAS when I lost all network connections followed by reboot a minute later - as usual.
Also noticed in Syslog that 5GHz clients were reconnecting every few seconds.

Switched partitions back to 31924.

It's a very strange issue. When reboots first began (32170 I think) they would always start at around 2.5 days uptime then get worse pretty quickly.
Then a few builds later my WRT1900AC v1 would start rebooting itself almost immediately after upgrading.
There doesn't seem to be any one common cause from all other reports. Router could be under a load or at rest. Some people use a VPN or USB storage while others do not.
For the life of me I can't figure out why newer builds on my WRT1900AC v1 cause moderate interference with nearby speakers while 31924 and previous do not.
I just don't see any way of accurately troubleshooting. It looks like the only possible way of finding a fix is to keep throwing stuff at the problem until something sticks.
I'll keep testing for as long as Brainslayer is willing to continue, but for the moment I'm returning to my WRT32X.

I've had a couple more crashes since my last post. For reference, I have a pretty basic setup. I have inadyn and syslogd running, but that's about it. There are some port forwards and static leases set up, too. No NAS or VPN.

I'll update the ticket and reference this thread.
Thanks to everyone!

Thank you for spearheading this effort. There wouldn't have been any movement on this build without it. My skills are limited but I'm willing to capture logs with some help.

You are welcome of course, although it hasn't been much effort on my part.
So far the logs haven't been of much help because Syslog stops before any useful information can be saved.
In the hopes of getting the information required I installed a 3.5mm female jack to serial port on my WRT1900AC v1. I have the necessary cable and drivers and it's been tested.
I am back on my WRT1900AC v1 with 33772.
I have a serial profile open on PuTTY
I made a copy of the initial uboot output
Now I am leaving the serial profile open to capture the next uboot output when it self-reboots.
Hopefully this will be the missing information that helps Brainslayer.
