Hi I just setup DD-WRT on my Archer C7 V4 and the upgrade went very smoothly. I'm running into a very serious issue though. When I try to add security to my WiFi they will no longer show up. I'm using build 37305. The WiFi works fine when unsecured but when secured using any security the connection disappears from all devices in the house. The wired LAN works fine though. Any ideas?

Edit 1: Should have tested further before posting WEP works everything else doesn't
Edit 2: After going to bed a getting a good nights sleep I woke up and did the sensible thing and reverted to build 36698 and now the WiFi works fine when secured.
I guess is still technically not fixed because its not the latest build but I will just wait for the next beta build and try that.

37305 is far from the latest build. There are 15 newer since then I think. That one was buggy and should be avoided. Do not use the Router Database. It is not well maintained. See the links in white in my sig for latest firmware.

Thanks I had no idea the router database was buggy. I'm now running 38159 with no issues. Thanks for the help! Very Happy
