Got a wrt3200acm, installed from the router database page, and had wifi issues.
I switched partitions using dd-wrt commands tab, and still had OEM linksys firmware on partition 1. Wifi just works.
I'd still like to tinker with dd-wrt, try out different builds etc, but since I need to be able to use this as a wifi access point, I want to be careful to keep linksys firmware on one of my partitions until I can figure out my dd-wrt wifi issue.
Does the linksys GUI install to the opposite partition? If I just keep switching back to the partition with OEM and running "factory to dd-wrt" installers will I be able to avoid having dd-wrt on both of my partitions?

Relying on the router database is not advised. Please consider upgrading to current release with a hard reset and reconfigure from scratch. It is advised to start reading the stickies, announcements, and forum rules & guidelines. I don't advise retaining OEM firmware since nvram space is shared.
