Mode/Status: Secondary router connected to ISP router, using WireGuard client (NordVPN) and WireGuard server. Router is operating on IPv4 only.
Issues/Errors: No internet access via WireGuard client or server.
First of all, I want to thank all the contributors for this great firmware. I'm not an IT expert, but thanks to the forum and its wiki, I managed to configure both a WireGuard client (to NordVPN) and a WireGuard server on my router.
It had been running perfectly for over a year, even through multiple DD-WRT updates — until the "60..." series.
I always use the same configuration.
However, after installing build r60090, the WireGuard client and server stopped working. I’ve tried resetting and reconfiguring everything, but it still doesn’t work. The router does have internet access outside of WireGuard (using IP exclusion).
Among the "60..." series, only build 60137 works. I’ve tested every build up to r60662, and none of them work — not even after a reset and full manual reconfiguration.
Just wanted to share my humble feedback from the perspective of a non-IT user who truly appreciates all the hard work that goes into this project. If anyone has advice or a solution, I’d be very grateful.

As always, the Quantenna chip has its own quirks. This is a closed source chipset
There is no way to install a channel.
But you can disable 5.0 GHz. @mpgalaxy hack "If you set the radio mode to station bridge and disable the network mode, the 5GHz device will turn off completely even after reboot."
If your router's light turns red, don't worry. Internet connection is ok.

If your router's light turns red, don't worry. Internet connection is ok.
USB 2.0 and 3.0 do not work. When rebooting the device, power is supplied through the connector, but after turning on wireless networks, power is not supplied.

Previous/Reset: 60098 / no
Mode/Status: WiFi Access only secondary router connected to Pfsense router, operating on IPv4 only.
Issues/Errors: I have 2 more of these that I wanted to revive for wireless but they somehow could not upgrade from much older beta builds from 2 years ago and somehow will not boot. Yes, I am aware of the risks
Been a while, but somehow good to be back on this forum
@Corsair1274: May require serial nvram erase then a reboot, or worst case is serial recovery. Would be helpful to have serial log of non-booting device for the developer.
