Previous/Reset: DD-WRT v3.0-r63020 std (12/10/25) / No
Mode/Status: WAP, VLANs, SSH
Issues/Errors: Upgraded OK (Web interface). USB flash drive works, partitions are mounted automatically. Selecting Panama as domain still breaks all radios: Busy Time 0 ms, Active Time 0 ms, devices do not see any SSID.
Notes: Free/available memory has doubled since the last build, it now hovers around 150 MB, quite similar to XR500 with the same configuration (180 MB).

If your router's light turns red, don't worry. Internet connection is ok.
Incorrect rate of wlan0 - 800 Mbit/s!
Thank you BS and gurus! _________________ Atheros

I set up two Netgear R7800 in 5GHz mesh mode (802.11s).
They worked fine under r63020 but the wireless radios didn't come up correctly under r63093. The lights come on, the radio says active in the GUI but it never lists a channel or power output.
Downgrading to r63020 without a reset worked fine.
Router/Version: Linksys EA8300
File/Kernel: dd-wrt-ea8300-webflash-r63093.bin / Linux 4.9.337 #3541 SMP Tue Dec 16 06:23:06 +07 2025 armv7l
Previous/Reset: 63020 with no reset
Mode/Status: Wired Access Point, No DHCP, No DNS, No WAN, No USB, Just WiFi.
Issues/Errors: GUI reports wlan0, wlan1, wlan2 as active on unknown channel and 0dBm transmit power. In the wireless status the SSID is missing.
All three radios are not transmitting. I have a fm radio nearby that gets interference from the router near certain stations. With this build I was not able to find the interference from the router. Rolled back to r63020 and all three radios are working normally.
Attached DMESG, MESSAGES, and a screen clip of wireless status page for wlan0.
Lots of EPROM and error messages throughout the logs.
