Hello I installed latest build factory-to-ddwrt and my LAN/wan ports dosnt work, only way to connect to the router is by wifi? Tried upgrading also with the sysupgrade build same issue. Gargoyle works just fine. Which build should I install first then upgrade to get it work?

"Latest build" is not a number. Do you mean 50057? No additional information given, no logs. Did you try resetting to clear any possible OpenWRT/Gargoyle nvram culprits?

Yes, latest from todays buildnummer is 50057. I dont know how to share logs, please let me know and i will post em here. Openwrt/Gargoyle dosn’t use nvram. I did factory reset on the sysupgrade build but same problem.

If you have not already done so I would suggest rebooting router and modem. Some modems don't recognize new router firmware after update . . some don't care. Reboot modem to see if yours will negotiate with the new firmware. Just an easy fix to try as first step.

The thing is, I force flashed the ddwrt firmware from gargoyle, dont know if it really matters I have done it before on my other router like wdr3600 and it has worked. The problem is my PC cant detect the router, also I get no WAN ip either. Only way to connect to the router is by wifi. If i switch partition to gargoyle again its working. Imma try going back to stock and installing ddwrt from there see how it goes

I installed old build which was around 30 megabyte, the newer ones are around 13 megabyte? Never mind I did nvram erase and my wan ip showed up. But nvram erase wiped my onboard configuration, i wasnt able to change any wifi settings xD ? But I managed to solve that by upgrading with latest sysupgrade build.

It is not recommended -at least the last time I checked- to switch from openWRT/Gargoyle to DD-WRT in one step.

Usually you have to add the Linksys firmware in between.

Gargoyle --> flash Linksys FW. (on both partitions to be sure + reset) --> flash DD-WRT.

Just so you know, the purpose of "nvram erase" is to wipe your configuration (same as "factory reset" or the reset button on the back of the router). In dd-wrt the nvram command is for dealing with the configuration storage area.

Also, not something I have experience with, but I can concur with the above post's advice, as I have seen mentioned in the forum that you can't flash dd-wrt from OpenWRT directly. The consensus seems to be that you need to get back to the factory FW and flash dd-wrt from there.

There is no file named "sysupgrade" and this is one of those particular routers that require the double-tap to flash from factory to initial dd-wrt to full version it seems (unless the newer factory-to-ddwrt.bin file is bunked):
Code:
ddwrt-linksys-wrt1900ac-webflash.bin               03-Sep-2022 03:27            37359616
factory-to-ddwrt.bin                               03-Sep-2022 03:27            14024704

Also, x3 on flashing back to factory first before switching from one 3rd party firmware to another on these.
