Im running DD-WRT v3.0-r61848 std (06/24/25) on my 1900ACv1 and i go looking for a newer version, but the downloads for 62606 which seems to be the best on posts, and all i can find is the factory to ddwrt file. Is the 1900ACv1 no longer supported for updates?

Also, the v1 is having issues, although BrainSlayer says his runs just fine on current releases.

O...k... doesnt really answer my question other than for that release version. Are you saying "its supported, but having (unknown) issues right now"?

It's still supported, yes. People are reporting issues saying that the firmware doesn't work, but no idea what their configuration is other than "defaults" and we all know how catch-22 that can be.

In my case I tried to upgrade on one of my current 1900ac V1 on an eralier version. This last time when I reported it was with my spare 1900acv1 which is reset to default.
So, the comment about configuration is not an issue.

I repeat;
ubootenv command is not recognized
WiFi is not operational. Although the device thinks it is, doing a scan with any of my other routers does not detect any WiFi transmission from the device.

And again, BrainSlayer needs serial logs / syslogs with debugging enabled to do anything about it. He has stated that his works. So, we either have to determine what default setting breaks things or provide logs...

I am not sure what you require. Can you please guide me through the process that will get the information you require.

I'd link the current OpenWRT Wiki, but the information isn't different. You have to use a terminal program like PuTTY, KiTTY, minicom, et al. configured with the proper values. Not sure if you're a Linux person, Mac Person, or Windows person off the top of my head, but it's really not that difficult.

Old OpenWrt Wiki » Table of Hardware » Linksys » Linksys WRT AC Series » Serial Port

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=capturing+serial+uart+logs+router&ia=web

Syslogs: cat /var/log/messages (ensure you do an nvram set console_debug=1)

Outside of that, applicable screenshots to see if there are any default configurations that are askew.

@kernel-panic69

Thank you for the instructions to get what you require as logs.

However I am not about to go through opening the router, soldering a header and then manipulating an upgrade. I've been there before and if that is the only way I can submit information, then I guess I won't be upgrading to any of the newer version any time soon.

I have noticed that there are people having similar issues, so maybe one of them will provide the info you want.

There is no need to solder a header in place on WRT AC Series devices. You just need the proper pitch connector to connect to your USB UART TTL adapter.

@kernel-panic69

I have no idea what you talking about. I have accessed wrt's in the past based on descriptions where a new header needs to be added. If you know a way around installing the header, I am all ears.

Serial Port is labeled J1 on the board, utilizing a JST PH 6 pin connector with a 2.0mm pitch, operating at 3.3v

Of course, the revealed pictures say J10, not J1, but the header is already installed.

These aren't the Linksys Pre-E-series WRTs with MIPS R1 and R2 CPUs nor are they the EA series MIPS R2 and BRCM Northstar (ARM) WRTs.

@kernel-panic69

Thank you for letting me know about the interface. I am trying to update a bricked unit before I play with any of my other units. I am having a hard time. I posted it as a new item.

If you believe that I am unable to unbrick this unit I guess I will try to upgrade my spare and get the info you have been asking for.
