Hi, i used the search but i couldn't find anything related to this.

For the router in the title, WR841N v11, the radio antenas stopped working.

Current build is a build from early Jan, and everything works OK.

Updated a month ago to a late feb build, radios stopped working (including the flashing Wifi led on the router). In the status menu it appears as "Radios are turned off".

I reverted back to the Jan build and things went back to normal. Now, a month later, i tried again with an early April build, but it's the same issue again, Wifi led is off, in the status it appears as "Radios are turned off".

I reverted back and again things started working again.

Is this a general issue? Or are there any workarounds for it?

Edit: If it helps, this router is running in repeater mode

Edit2: Is it related to this issue: https://svn.dd-wrt.com/ticket/7027 ?

I have the same router and it works very well, I updated probably to every beta in the last months and had no problem like you mentioned. On the other hand mine is working as acces point, not as a repeater. Did you try a reset to factory settings?

I haven't tried to restore the settings to factory defaults because i can't find the original tutorial to turn this router into a repeater.

It wasn't so straightforward and it involved creating some virtual networks and such.
