Router: Netgear Nighthawk X10
Installed DD-WRT Version: DD-WRT v3.0-r40559 std (08/06/19)
CPU Model: Annapurna Labs Alpine
Reported Temperatures CPU 48.0 °C / ath0 60 °C / ath1 66 °C
I got this recently because my old Linksys E3000 400Mhz cpu has been showing it's age with the network I have were we were getting actually getting noticeable lag on the whole network. I got the whole network switch over while everyone was asleep and there was a issue when I woke up the Wifi Radios 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz was turned off or crashed and had to restart the router. The LAN ports were still working. I have the 60Ghz disabled since there is no AD devices in the house.
this is all through the error Log with several pages full of this.
Code:
Apr 1 14:17:52 DD-WRT kern.err kernel: [11477.383786] wil6210 0003:01:00.0 giwifi0: __wmi_send: WMI: cannot send command while FW not ready
The X10 is a great router and works well with DD-WRT. I suggest you flash it with the factory to ddwrt image and then update with the current build. I have that router on the latest build and am very pleased. _________________ Netgear R9000

A linky to the new update for my X10 would help to were I know the right one. Also I would have to wait to flash it when everyone is asleep. I also put 2 fans on 1 on each side to help with the temp the radio was hovering around 60C+ now 40c-50c and the wifi hasn't crashed yet
@kernel-panic69 did after the fact and notice after the post.
Before I update I guess I will have to save the config and write down the config details late tonight
