Issues/Errors: All Lights Out! Will Not Boot!

Flashed this a few hours ago and it does not boot (I've been waiting for the build thread to show up to report this). In fact, the entire router goes completely dark and has to be power cycled a few times to get back to r56941.

Issues/Errors: Not able to boot

Flashed this on my main Gateway twice and it cannot boot. Eventually comes back up on r56820 after three boot failures. I have not tried with disabling NSS-SFE which I am guessing would allow it to boot since it does boot on the below two EA8500 WDS Stations.

EDIT: Captured a serial log for this:

Router: Dyanlink WRX36
Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r57200 std (07/08/24)
Reset: YES .. GUI upgrade from r56941
Mode: Main Gateway SFE enabled
Errors: NONE for routing traffic to internet

This is the first build that has a functional control tab for wireless, so this build is the first fully functional build for WRX36.

A few things I noticed this time on WRX36 running DD-wrt with 57200.

1) After flashing to DD-WRT new build with full reset (or flashing first time to DD-WRT), the first boot-up of DD-WRT on WRX36 is a very long process, it took 4 minutes to boot up after upgrading from 56941 (with full reset to default selected), it might be DD-WRT needs some time to populate all the nvram parameters, I guess.

2) WAN is disabled after first time booting, needs to be turned on manually.

3) Mac clone is not erased with full reset, I ended up with the old Mac address on the WAN.

4) The WAN led lights are functioning but in reversed manner, connection and traffic are both lit when no cable plugged in; when network cable is plugged in, connection is off, and traffic will cause the traffic indicator LED to go dark (i.e. traffic is LED off, no traffic is LED on)

5) CPU is displayed correctly as 8072, though CPU freq is 1017MHz, not sure it's a mistake or this build actually runs the router at 1017MHz.

Thanks for getting WRX36 fully functional!

my other R7800 has no problem with reboot via CLI (after cli flash), but it needs a bit more waiting... and doesn't have access to dmseg as it throws I/O error..

On a couple of previous builds, I already tried to reset and reconfig from a scratch, it hangs on CLI flash / reboot as always...even with bear minimum config...

Otherwise my both R7800 are fully operational...

p.s. after a 36h of work one of my R7800 lost its DHCP on the LAN ports all lans are segmented on a VLAN's on their own Bridge and DHCPd...so no DHCP or even static IP was not possible..noting on the logs or dmesg, reboot didn't solve the problem...however WIFI on br0 was fine with DHCPd and fetching IP's to the new clients...finally i went back to 56941/reset and reloaded the save file of 56941 and it was back to op...than updated again to 57200/reset and manually re-config and so far no issues...fingers crossed I do suspect its about the bridges and the recent commits...may be...

found it on 56941 nvram show | grep wan_default shows > wan_default=eth0
but on 57200 the output is wan_default=eth1 and there where all my lan ports are not working as it should...so i had to manually edit the nvram settings back to eth0

Router/Version: Netgear R7800 x 3
File/Kernel: DD-WRT v3.0-r57200 std (07/08/24)
Previous/Reset: DD-WRT v3.0-r56941 std (06/19/24), last reset at r56941.
Mode/Status: Gateway (SFE Disabled), Access Point (DD-WRT firmware,2.4GHz, 5GHZ, WPA2/WPA3, 802.11r/v/k), IPV6 (DHCP6 w/ prefix delegation), Entware, DOT via SmartDNS/DNSMasq, OpenVPN server, Wireguard Server + 2 wired access points (DD-WRT firmware,2.4GHz, 5GHZ, WPA2/WPA3, 802.11r/v/k)
Issues/Errors:
Up 10 hours. USB 2.0 working properly for Entware and "jffs" partitions. USB 3.0 device does not work (separate thread on this). Speed (tested via nPerf.com) is very close to published, which is equal or favorable to the ISP router. Wireguard and OpenVPN servers both working as expected and throughput sufficient to open video files on network shares.

Router had been up for 3 hours on r57200, and I decided to try turning on NSS-ECM-SFE. Changed the setting, which caused a reboot, and when it came back up, IPv6 was not working as previously reported. I added my startup and cron workaround scripts, then rebooted it again from the Reboot Router button under Administration/Management. When the ping to 192.168.6.1 never came back, I did a DHCP release and renew and got a 192.168.1.x address. For some reason, the router had done a reset to defaults on it's own. Fortunately, I had a backup after the recent reconfig, and was quickly back to normal.

I've since made changes to both the startup script and cron fields in the GUI, and rebooted without issue. I've left Shortcut Forwarding Engine on Disabled, however.

Thank you Brainslayer.

Update: Enabled NSS-ECM and saw a 30% decrease in upload and download speeds compared to Disabled. Changed it to NSS-ECM-SFE and saw about a 25% increase in upload speed over Disabled, download speed stayed the same at about 510 (provisioned for 500).

Down side - I had two random reboots in less than 90 minutes. I work from home and have a lot of Teams meetings, so back to Disabled for now.

The fact is that the router connected to the Internet (to the Internet provider). And it reports an error, the orange WAN indicator flashes (the icon in the form of a planet). Internet is working, I just think it's a glitch

Thank you BS and gurus!
