What was the last build that worked for you on the AC5300 on? Currently, running 35831.

Alright, falling back to 10-20-2017-r33555 and the HTTP webUI bricked again.
When httpd crashes, try `startservice httpd` from telnet/ssh. When I tested 35910, I had this happen on the first GUI try on my WNDR4000, but httpd restarted fine, and never saw it since, after many days. Also, when you set to reset with the flash, you were getting the 'set a password' prompt right? Just making sure the reset worked. I would suggest trying an `erase nvram && reboot` from telnet/ssh, and manually setup...BUT I think some EA-series routers don't handle that well? Or used to? You'd have to search about that.
[Edit: it appears to be fine, peruse here.]
Got the ol' WRTs back from the in-laws over Easter, so updated them to...
Router/Version: Linksys WRT54GLv1.1
Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r35927 std-special ( 05/13/18 )
Kernel: Linux 2.4.37 #49358 Sun May 13 06:07:23 CEST 2018 mips
Mode: AP
Issues: File was actually was nokaid_special_generic. Wireless appears ok (for a G router...)
Router/Version: Linksys WRT54GSv6
Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r35927 micro ( 05/13/18 )
Kernel: Linux 2.4.37 #49366 Sun May 13 06:16:51 CEST 2018 mips

Issues: 35531 had issues with the wireless channel list always showing Auto, but that it fixed in 35927.
Going to try them for a while in CB mode soon, for later potential use with my nephew's friends who have 4 Mb/s DSL. _________________ #NAT/SFE/CTF: limited speed w/ DD#Repeater issues#DD-WRT info: FAQ, Builds, Types, Modes, Changes, Demo#

Well, With Kong's latest build r35900M and BS previous build, it was not crashing anymore and trying to scan Chanels to connect..
and I believe it is closer to working at least.
And still RB was not getting connected which is probably a minor issue to get fixed.
But now it crashing again which is back to square. and VHT160 mode is removed
Something got fixed partially and broken again which is what I meant.
All three AC5300 routers like Dlink DIR895l, Asus RT-AC5300 and Netgear R8500 have the same issue. _________________ ASUS RT-AX89X: Main gateway.

Oh, was I supposed to submit a ticket? Guess I'd have to figure out where to do that. I was just posting a syslog. Good to know it's not a new issue. Today's boot-up, after it finally connected to sync-up, no issue with the time zone in the syslog. I guess I could always just set my time zone to UTC

lol.... I'm not too familiar with telnet/ssh since I'd quitted the IT professional industries over 10 years ago already, let alone the router devices Linux systems, totally not professional, so you may have to teach me how.
But anyway, done a hard reset (30s power on, 30s power off, 30s power on) soon before and now the WebUI become fine again And yes, the 'set a password' prompt appeared fine at the first screen, just set passwords, login to the reset r33555 then flashed the r33555 again one more time. So now everything is running fine, really fine! no more wifi hangs, the router's wifi signals always response! much stabler than all builds since Nov 2017 until now! So buggy, too buggy for my EA2700, from the builds of Nov 2017 until r35927. I guess Linux kernel 3.10.108 is not really compatible with my Linksys EA2700. My EA2700 can run only 3.10.107 really fine, I guess so, it seems like
I have no ideas why the builds of DD-WRT in these months become much dirtier and dirtier, much buggier and buggier...... I have completely no ideas about what the hell is really going on with the developers of DD-WRT in these months, ruined the routers. (facepalm)

Weren't you saying before that you had issues in 33555? So it might be that a hard reset in 35927 might work as well?

I'm finding that it's probably a wiser idea to do either a hard or soft reset (through the webGUI), depending on what is recommended (and what won't brick your router!). Seems like a soft reset / erasing nvram will decrease the chance of unexpected results. I happened to see your comment regarding the wireless channels, and all I had was "Auto" until I hit "save" on that page and the settings 'refreshed'. Could be a bug, but I would have to somehow reproduce it.
EDIT: Another error of sorts. WebGUI reports the CPU as a 4716 rev1, syslog entry below
Jan 1 00:00:07 DD-WRT kern.info kernel: CPU: BCM4716 rev 1 at 480 MHz
But all of the information I've read on the Linksys E4200 V1 says it has a 4718A1. Is this a known issue?
FYI, these problems still exist in Windows 10 64-bit, it seems. Updated to the latest Intel drivers off the Intel site and there is a WORLD of difference. The last drivers released on the Microsoft Update Catalog are outdated and are not patched for the latest wi-fi vulnerabilities, either. Go figure
