Issues/Errors: None noticed so far. Running very well for my configuration. _________________ R7800 r53339 std (08/01/23)
Private network on bridge br0 = eth1 (vlan 1) + wlan0 + wlan1.
Guest network on bridge br1 = eth1.4 (vlan 4) + VAPs (wlan0.1 + wlan1.1) for IOT devices
(Roku's, Amazon Echos, smart switches, etc.) and guest.
Noob still finding my way.
swconfig dev switch0 set enable_vlan 1
swconfig dev switch0 vlan 1 set ports "1 2 6"
swconfig dev switch0 vlan 4 set ports "3 4 6t"
swconfig dev switch0 set apply

Router/Version: TP-Link 1043 (rev.1.8.), r45955 std (03/09/21)
File/Kernel: Previous/Reset: factory firmware, for this particular router + DD-WRT 40559 on other 1043 routers.
Mode/Status: Gateway
Issues/Errors: Wi-Fi cut-off
I am using firmware version 45955 - for a couple of days, and I observe not stable work of Wi-Fi.
Namely after automatic reboot, which is scheduled on 3:00 - the wi-fi signal is not working at around 8:00 (or maybe earlier).
I have noticed similar issues with previous firmwares on my other TP-Link 1043 devices, but they were occaisional, not such often as in this release.
It's the 3-rd day in a row, when this isssue is observed.

After resetting the router to "Restore Factory Defaults" I saw a situation where wlan1 wasn’t bridged as I expected it to be.
I did the following. See my notes within and the attached dmesg file.
First, restored to “factory” (nvram erase might have been better, but this is what it is for now):
Reset to factory defaults
Set password
Enable SSH, syslogd and klogd and apply
Logged-in via SSH and I issued brctl show
root@DD-WRT:~# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
br0 8000.c05627070fe9 no vlan1
wlan0
wlan1
The above makes sense - vlan1, wlan0 and wlan1 all bridged. Good.
Now“disable” wlan0 from the GUI and apply
I waited a bit and checked the bridge; I checked it a few times to make sure it was no longer in transistion.
root@DD-WRT:~# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
br0 8000.c05627070fe9 no vlan1
Hmm... above, I disabled wlan0 and it's gone, but where did wlan1 go?. That’s interesting.
Now enable (set to “mixed” mode) wlan0 and apply
Checking the bridge…
root@DD-WRT:~# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
br0 8000.c05627070fe9 no vlan1
wlan0
wlan1
OK, makes sense; re-enabling wlan0 put it back in the bridge, and (oh by the way) wlan1 is there too. This looks proper.
Now disable wlan1 and apply
root@DD-WRT:~# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
br0 8000.c05627070fe9 no vlan1
wlan0
OK, no issue here; wlan0 remains in the bridge and wlan1 is gone.
Now enable wlan1 “mixed” and apply
root@DD-WRT:~# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
br0 8000.c05627070fe9 no vlan1
wlan0
wlan1
No issue here; vlan1, wlan0 and wlan1 all bridged.
Disable wlan0 and apply
root@DD-WRT:~# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
br0 8000.c05627070fe9 no vlan1
wlan1
This time, after disabling wlan0, I get the expected result that vlan1 and wlan1 are still bridged. Compare this to what happened the first time I disabled wlan0.
I then checked dmesg and saved it, attached. The interesting stuff starts to happen around "346.046709". I'm a bit of a newbie and can't offer my interpretation, yet, of what did or did not happen.

Update method: Web GUI
Router/Version: TP Link TL-WR1043ND v1.8
File/Kernel: DD-WRT v3.0-r45955 std (03/09/21)
Previous/Reset: DD-WRT v3.0-r44627 std (10/22/20) / Yes
Mode/Status: Gateway / Configured WiFi settings based on MSOEngineer's recommended QCA settings.
Issues/Errors:
Similar to the previous loaded DD-WRT firmware (r44627), the WiFi is unstable. Sometime after half a day to a day, the WiFi would just drop and the WiFi indicator light would no longer light up. I can still see the SSID when I look up available WiFi networks on my devices but I am unable to connect to them (tells me incorrect password). _________________ DD-WRT Router Arsenal:

After reseting my router via serial and updating from 44715 to 45955 version wi-fi functionality was totaly absent in the settings! I can't turn it on at all(
