File/Kernel: DD-WRT v3.0-r61616 std (06/02/25), Linux 6.6.92-rt29 #3426 SMP Mon Jun 2 13:25:21 +07 2025 aarch64
Previous/Reset: DD-WRT v3.0-r61557 std (05/31/25), last reset on r60791
Mode/Status: Gateway (NSS-ECM), Access Point (5GHZ-HT20 AX/AC/N mixed, WPA2/WPA3, 802.11r/v/k, guest network, domain:UNITED STATES), performance governor, IPV6 (DHCP6 w/ prefix delegation), Entware, DOT via SmartDNS/DNSMasq, OpenVPN server, Wireguard Server + 2 Wired access points (2.4GHz-HT20 N/G Mixed, 5GHZ-HT80 AX/AC/N mixed, WPA2/WPA3, 802.11r/v/k, guest network, domain:UNITED STATES)
Issues/Errors:
Up 2 hours. USB 3.2 stick working properly for Entware and "jffs" partitions. Speed, wired and wifi, is very close to published, which is equal or favorable to the ISP router - tested via nPerf.com. Wireguard and OpenVPN servers both working as expected and throughput sufficient to open video files on network shares. 5GHz showing 26dBm (set to 30dBm). 2.4GHz showing 28dBm (also set to 30dBm).
Still the same weirdness in the Networking tab, where the MAC address of br1 is a random single ASCII character, but this seems to be cosmetic only. For curiosity sake, I also tried a 6in4 Hurricane tunnel for IPv6, and found it's still not routing properly. Native IPv6 (DHCP6 w/ prefix delegation) works fine, though. This is similar behavior to other recent builds. Otherwise, build is stable and functional on the MR7350.

If your router's light turns red, don't worry. Internet connection is ok.

Looks like a revision has been made to prepare for the possibility of Linux 6.12 support on this device ? 6.12 is on the CIP so presumably would lead to even better long-term support : if we could retain NSS-ECM support on 6.12, I would be all for a 6.12 migration. https://svn.dd-wrt.com/changeset/61630/
Thank you BrainSlayer and devs.

Router crached and hang, recover to 61408, startup found following error, tried revert to buffalo and update the router, still same following error

What would happen if rootfs in read-only mode? What is ipt action does?
What happened to the time startup, I remember the router used to be able to retained the time setting after reboot, since when it reset the time everytime it reboot? Is it really necessary? as NTP sync every hour by default.... Whould it causes all services require correct time to fail and restart once NTP synced?
I have been experiencing a lot with router hang(Stall) and doesnt auto restart laterly,tried reset and reconfig still the same, would you advise a stable verson for me please? to be able to run wireguard, as soon as I start it up it will restart router every 2 hours. Thank you.
Just found out the httpd hang as well, require telnet to restart httpd
Tried this version on my EA8500 - similar to my previous experience with the previous build r61613 (06/02/2025), I can't get it to work in my setup.
Thinking I may have a bad partition, I reverted back to the other working partition (r60742) and updated the firmware to the same r60742 - I should now have r60742 on both partitions. All is well.
Updated again to this build and started reconfiguring from scratch and didn't even get to WiFi configuration when I noticed that NTP isn't working even though I've configured it correctly. The router doesn't get the correct time which means it's unable to access the internet.
My EA8500 router IP settings are configured manually/static, and what I noticed after going back to r60742 was that the Local DNS configuration was 0.0.0.0 despite having been configured correctly to my gateway. I had also tried Googles DNS 8.8.8.8 while on this build when I noticed ntp not working.
Perhaps a bug with a manually/static configured router IP settings and that Local DNS is not being saved correctly?

1. Compare the wan MAC for both builds. If they are not the same, that might be the issue.
2. Unplug all LAN cables from router for ~30 seconds then plug back in and check for Internet access. Yes, this is a strange one but one of my EA8500s cannot get a wan mac when even a single LAN cable is plugged in. As soon as I pull it, it gets an IP address (I realize your IP is static).
I have noticed these particular issues on two of my EA8500s. _________________ - Linksys EA8500: I-Gateway, WAP/VAP 5ghz only. Features: VLANs, Samba, WG, Entware - r60xxx

Thanks for your advice, After enabled the info page, All WAN/LAN/Wireless are showing same MAC addresss.........

Posted: Sat Jun 07, 2025 16:00 Post subject: Just a suggestion
Hey guys, wanted to make a suggestion so please don't take this the wrong way but maybe release a beta once a month or every other month and focus on stability?
Take a look at Merlin (https://www.snbforums.com/forums/asuswrt-merlin.42/). They usually release a new version once every 2-3 months but focus on testing it out and working out any kinks before they do via alpha, beta builds and community engagement/feedback.
Do appreciate all the work and time you put into this!
Router/Version: Linksys MR7350
File: dd-wrt-webupgrade.bin
Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r61648 std (06/05/25)
Kernel: Linux 6.6.92-rt29 #3444 SMP Wed Jun 4 13:35:25 +07 2025 aarch64
Mode: Gateway, SFE disabled, 2.4G and 5G wifi, bridged VAP on 2.4GHz, Wireguard for external access, WAN disabled, Keep Alive reboot 6:02 in the morning, using my own local NTP
Reset: No
Status: Ok. WiFi 6 devices reach 9xx Mbit/s in iperf3 against the router, everything stable. All devices connecting fine (including VAP).
@Andr0med: Just don't update your devices with every new version of dd-wrt.
Wait a bit, see if bugs show up and then go ahead and flash.
I prefer to test latest patches as fast as possible, delaying them... might be not a good idea.
And in addition to that, that wouldn't be fun!
