When the 3200 first came out I got taken in by the open source branding and bought one for use with DD-WRT. It was nothing but trouble, with connection losses, frequent reboots, and every other problem in the book. The forums were awash with different and conflicting advice on special builds, setting tweaks, and general voodo, none of which ever made my 3200 work. After 6 months I gave up on Linksys and DD-WRT and moved over to netgear running tomato. My R7000, while working great, is almost old enough to vote. Has anything changed with the 3200acm that makes it useable with dd-wrt, or is it still broken? I’d like to take advantage of the fancier radios and beefier soc in the 3200acm if I can.

Current recommendations from personal experience at the moment are:

• 10-14-2023-r53633 (Last K4.9 build)
  
• 04-02-2024-r55615 or 04-03-2024-r55630

Reason being, builds after 55630 have questionable reliability and the third radio is missing at some point, causing further issues. If you don't want it, I'll gladly take it.

You can use the current release of DD-WRT and get the WRT3200ACM working ok - as long as you restrict it to WPA2 and US Region and 5GHZ wifi to ch36 or ch149

Several recent threads on this - no one seems to read them.

Kernel 6.1 builds run great on WRT32X, which is similar hardware wise to WRT3200ACM.

However, your luck may vary on WRT3200ACM - unsure whether both devices are identical, hardware wise.

Check the build threads for sample WRT32X config - all settings at default unless otherwise stated.

WPA3 may not be supported on WRT3200ACM nor on WRT32X.

Range still sucks but it is a fast enough router for my 500Mbps broadband. I got taken in by the open source mantra. Power tables and country code are locked from my understanding.

As noted elsewhere, I was on 58430 for > 13 days before it crapped out. Made a couple more changes to wifi config to see if that would be the problem and bumped to 58568 last night after it crashed. Not entirely sure what was introduced that could be culprit since the 5/10 build or what is askew. Maybe it's because all my USB ports work while people are reporting issues
