Router/Version: Linksys MR7350 and Linksys MX4300
File/Kernel: DD-WRT v3.0-r63461 std (01/22/26), Linux 6.6.121-rt29 #5053 SMP Wed Jan 21 18:31:14 +07 2026 aarch64
Previous/Reset: Gateway: DD-WRT v3.0-r61848 std (06/24/25), no reset; APs: DD-WRT v3.0-r63391 std (01/17/26), no reset
Mode/Status: Gateway (NSS-ECM), Access Point (2.4GHz-HT20 N/G Mixed, 5GHZ-VHT80 AX/AC/N mixed, WPA2/WPA3, 802.11r/v/k, domain:UNITED STATES), IPV6 (DHCP6 w/ prefix delegation)
Issues/Errors:
Up 5 hours on APs.
As with the last few builds, I updated the MR7350 gateway and could not get IPv6 to work properly. I can get an address if I turn off Net Isolation on br1 and enable DHCP Server Daemon (even if I'm using DNSMasq for DHCP6 and RA), but some sites and services (like Outlook.com email, test-ipv6.com and ip6.biz) are not working. Tested on both Windows and Ubuntu clients. Rolled it back to r61848.
Updated the two APs (one MX4300 and one MR7350) and both seem to be working correctly with stable connections.
Thank you Brainslayer. _________________ Formerly dpp3530 Linksys MR7350

Posted: Fri Jan 23, 2026 16:56 Post subject: Virtual Access Points
That is why I have not been trying to update since mid 2025, virtual access points have been broken for a while. I use them extensively in my network, without them my network is very broken.
I have upgraded my main router, no virtual access points, more though.
This has been a problem for years now. Most of access point routers are on 57793 from 2024. I have upgraded up from that several times and each time the build would load fine but no VAP, the radio with the VAP wouldn't even come up correctly. _________________ Before asking a question on the forums, update dd-wrt: Where do I download firmware? I suggest reading it all.

No problems with any of my VAP's till recently, I am running 62778 with two VAP's without issue. I have only run into problems on very recent builds, have been using them for years on the XR500 and 7800 without issue.
