Router/Version: Tp-Link TL-WDR3600 v. 1.5
Kernel: Linux 3.10.108-d11 #101914 Tue Feb 15 06:46:23 +07 2022 mips
Reset: No
Mode: Internet gateway, WIFI AP 5GHz, dnsmasq server
Status: Working, but unexpected reboots
Issues: Router go to unexpected reboot when I want to use WIFI to transfer data on medium intensity
Uptime: a few minutes from reboot to another reboot
Router have a problem with wifi connection still. I'm totally disable 2.4 GHz module and I use 5 GHz only. When I want lite use WIFI - web browsing, e-mails, short youtube movies everything works good. When I'm start transfer data on WIFI - files, system updates, long youtube use then router go to unexpected reboot. After 10 - 15 secs I'm reconnect to internet and wifi. On GUI I have 0 mins uptime. It not depend of advanced wireless configuration. I'm configure WIFI follow tutorial on DD-WRT Wiki. Log and screenshot on attach. I see when I'm type 1 to DTIM interval I have big CPU use. Preamble I have long, because I have active connections on long range from router. On short WIFI range is weak. In my opinion it not depend of configs. It's some software bug probably.
Please check attachements.

Issues/Errors: (Not a new issue, likely a unique issue for me) Although the build did load the leases file on reboot, and the Use JFFS2 for client lease DB option was checked, I had to click Apply on the page to get the dnsmasq.leases file to start updating on /jffs. Also, the Active Clients table on the Status, LAN tab had many Hostnames as * until I erased /tmp/dnsmasq.leases. _________________ Netgear R9000

I'm curious as to your recommendations. As I study the wiki and other posts, I am not clear on which settings are better. I think I understand the last two, and I know what DTIM is and I think I understand your choice. What about the first three? _________________ Netgear R9000

Me too, since they're significantly different from msoengineer's recommended settings.
think it's been said many times ---> One size DON'T fit all. Set it that best suits your situation.
Yes, of course. That's why I asked. I have not seen protection and RTS Threshold disabled and wondered why. I was under the impression that protection mode was needed to prevent collisions.
FWIW, I am trying disabling protection and turning off threshold so see how it works. _________________ Netgear R9000

Previous/Reset: r47656 GUI update/ Yes
Mode/Status: AP / WAN disabled
Issues/Errors: Leds are incorrect. This is not only in this build. Previous builds had same issue.
Router is in AP mode.
WAN led is always orange and never blinks regardless whether a cable is connected to the WAN port or not and trafic is present. WAN port = port 1 on the internal switch.
Switch port leds when no cables are connected are all off after reboot which is correct.
- Cable connected to switch port 1 (=label 1 at the back), front leds of port 1, 3 and 4 are lit. Led of port 2 is off. Port 1 at the back is port 2 of the internal switch.
- Detaching cable from port 1, led of port 1 goes off. Led port 2 remains off. Leds of port 3 and 4 are lit.
- Cable connected to switch port 2 (=label 2 at the back), front leds of port 2, 3 and 4 are lit. Led of port 1 is off. Port 2 at the back is port 3 of the internal switch.
- Detaching cable from port 2, led of port 2 goes off. Led port 1 remains off. Leds of port 3 and 4 are lit.
- Cable connected to switch port 3 (=label 3 at the back), front leds of port 3 and 4 are lit. Leds of port 1 and 2 are off. Port 3 at the back is port 4 of the internal switch.
- Detaching cable from port 3, led of port 3 goes off briefly and then back on. Leds port 1 and 2 remains off. Led of port 4 is lit.
- Cable connected to switch port 4 (=label 4 at the back), front leds of port 3 and 4 are lit. Leds of port 1 and 2 are off. Port 4 at the back is port 5 of the internal switch.
- Detaching cable from port 4, led of port 4 goes off briefly and then back on. Leds port 1 and 2 remains off. Led of port 3 is lit.
The port leds never blink during trafic. The ports seem to work fine though and are correctly shown in the switch GUI.
So it seems the leds of port 3 and 4 are stuck on, the WAN led is always orange and no blinking of port leds during trafic.
The WLAN leds seem to do its job fine. No issue here. _________________

Here is tutorial: https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/QCA_wireless_settings I'm based on it when I try to fix unstable wifi work on my device. In my configuration I have only 5GHz module in use and 2.4 is permanently disabled. Other tutorial is exist on forum, but that provoke unstable in my case. I'm skip to DD-WRT Wiki and reconfigure wireless. Router stopped randomly reboot when I'm change RTS / CTS to CTS only. I'm not touch other settings, because I'm not need DTIM packets on 2 ms and beacons on 100. Tutorial haven't this hints. When we change beacons and DTIM to little values router have higher cpu utilisation. That features produce and send special packets to better establish (beacons) and catch (DTIM packet) connections between user workstations and router. Usally we don't need sent that packets each 1 or 2 ms and then you waste router sources. Generally, I need to observe and test my WIFI stable. Thanks all for your help and hints.
The beacon interval is specified in ms (milliseconds).
A beacon of 100 means 100ms
A DTIM interval of 2 means that a DTIM frame is sent every 2 beacons - i.e. every 200ms and not every 2ms.
Clients use the DTIM frames to judge how long they can go into standby.
So if you use a beacon of 600 and a DTIM interval of 255, your stations may go into standby for 2.5 minutes before they wake up again.
This can result in significant latency delays and throughput reductions
By the way, a beacon of 100 with a DTIM of 2 is the default setting of millions of routers - but believe what you want.
In your linked wiki article you will also find the recommended settings.
Quote:
DTIM Interval
Recommended Setting: 2 ~ 5 (assuming default beacon interval of 100 is used)
I don't think it says anywhere that a DTIM interval of 255 is recommended.

I'm attach syslog file. I don't know why router make reboots. At last time I'm change advanced WIFI config to recommended on forum.
We're not responsible for a misconfigured router. Looks like you have IPv6 enabled, SFE enabled, and ttraff enabled, but not NTP client running (or the log is incomplete).
