I have had zero problems with the 20202 build on either band, 2.4 or 5ghz... My 2012 macbook pro connects at 450mb/s on the 5gig side using channel 157. I have tested save/apply settings... I have tested Virtual interfaces, even openvpn... all seem to work.. I can say since the 64k cfe upgrade this router has been a real work horse and works very well.. 1 thing that came to mind is TX power, if you are having problems you may want to lower this... I have both 2 and 5 gig bands set at 56mw.

The same mac book pro 2012.... but I use official dd-wrt build with 32k nvram... may be this is problem...
I'm scary to update cfe because of breaking router and not clear if it will be possible to use dd-wrt build on it... ( _________________ TP-Link TL-WR1043ND: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (08/07/10) std - build 14896

The new cfe update solution posted by ryzhov_al and theMIROn is nearly fool proof and is all done on the actual router itself, no nead to install Linux at all.

If you are already on a 64k dd-wrt build, you can use the new 64k patch directly, as I did. No problem. Just remember to clear the NVRAM after cfe patch though, otherwise some settings would be messed up.

To check the version under dd-wrt:
cat /dev/mtd/0ro | grep version
If still 1.0.1.2, then you better flash the Merlin version or Asus Stock or Tomato at first.

B1 unit arrived with 1.0.1.2/3.0.0.4.260 installed from the factory. Used ryzhov_al's latest CFE update method via simple putty/terminal. As mentioned before, it's pretty fool-proof now; no intermediate linux/darwin stuff needed. Yes I saved a backup rom...
Now the question is whether I can flash directly to fractal's 20202 build or whether I still need to heed to warning and flash to Merlin or Tomato first. Have another unit arriving shortly but still playing it safe...
dont flash fractals with UN-buggy CFE. looks like it makes WAN port inoperable. wait for fractal fix, stay with asus. _________________ RT-N66U @ Build 25697M K3.10.63
