N-only mode should really be relabelled to show it is a 2.4ghz mode and a 5ghz N-only should be added.
I find the nomenclature very confusing and it doesn't become easier when comparing to other brand of routers.
Every mfgr seems to have their own opinion of what "Auto" and "Mixed mode" means.
Why not use the standardised labelling instead of N-only/NA-Only?
The Upper/Lower selector in the gui is redundant.
A certain 802.11a base channel has only one single partner channel which it can be bonded to when doing 802.11an.
There are no choices for bonding to either an upper or a lower channel.
Edited: 802.11an is 40Mh channel width

Awesome - now I can finally get 5GHz working thanks to your list. I wasn't able to get the right combo before.
Thanks akhamari, I flashed the cfe but still couldn't ping the router but there were more lights on now. I am currently flashing the kernel. I will let you know how it works out. Thanks
The lights is a good sign. Try to ping this ip address 192.168.2.18 I may had the router set as an Access Point (I was doing some tests remotely and using an other router for DHCP) when I downloaded the CFE ...that may be the issue there (set your computer with 192.168.2.x). if it doesn't work I will reset it to default and resend you the new CFE.

Very clarifying, be sure to add it as a bugreport (well, change request) for DD-WRT. Thanks.

How about editing your original post so that someone doesn't miss the correction.
I'm running 11712 (3/3/2009) and mac address cloning does not appear to work and my daily wan stats don't seem to be saved. I've also noticed that port forwarding seems to disappear but if you 'add' new rows they appear back on the page one row at a time.

I have never noticed any of those issues. Excepting wan stats, those get wiped out every time there is a restart as they only are saved once a day.
Ok, so since I couldn't ping the router after flashing the CFE I went ahead and flashed the firmware by jtag as a kernel. Now I only have a rapidly flashing power light. So I tried to flash the cfe again and now I get the error Process did not enter debug mode. It then hangs at clearing watchdog. Any idea as to how I can go ahead and get it to allow me to flash it again? I have also use it with /noemw as it will hang and enabling memory writes. I had that issue before though. I also tried /nocwd with no luck. Thanks

I just used that version of dd-wrt and I can't get any of my wireless devices to connect. All my laptops are on the 2.4ghz 802.11g setting but none of them can actually see the router even though the SSID is set to broadcast. Can anyone help ?
You don't need to install the mini version first, straight to the mega build is fine.
Would recommend the hard reset before and after though (aka 30/30/30)
Still, either way, I'm not finding the router particularly reliable with dd-wrt at the moment, and wifi is terrible (which is the whole reason I upgraded from wrt54g, which works great with dd-wrt)

Agree. WiFi does not work as it does on WRT54G. 11n is an issue on both 610N and 350N. I had to rollback to the original Linksys firmware on 610N. No issues on both radios for 2 weeks. So, this is not a faulty hardware. We just have to wait till the team will address major wireless issues on 610N.

I have found a few default settings that did not match, like afterburner and frameburst. They were enabled. My other radios are disabled. But then again, I did not check to verify GUI was correct, it might not be.
Anyway going on 2 days and 8 some hours up, but no real load on the unit..
Running RB mode on wl0, wl1 is off. G only.
I do have a usb memory key installed and ftp enabled.
Ok I got it to connect but only on wl1. None of my laptops or wireless devices can see wl0.
I know that there are 5 and 2.4 GHz radios in the thing. Is that what wl0 and wl1 correspond to? if so, then that makes sense - none of my older gear (all b/g or b/g/n) can see the 5GHz radio using the linksys firmware.
