Noticed that since I have upgraded to v3.0-r32597 on Thursday, CPU load has gone through the roof. No reboots or anything else noticeably wrong though.
Posted: Fri Jul 14, 2017 14:44 Post subject: My experience so far!
I just wanted to report that I have been having pretty good luck with this build R32597 on my WRT1900ACv2. As of this moment it has been running for about 3 days with no issues or reboots... I had been having WiFi troubles with signal, but I think that has more to do with my environment than the firmware.
I do recommend doing the Reset to Factory Defaults when upgrading, because that nearly bricked my router last time when I didn't do that. I also believe it good practice to have Stock on one partition in case you get in a sticky situation.
Is it only me? but seems my router, WRT-1900AC v1 shows:
Marvel Armada 370/XP
CPU Cores: 2
CPU Clock:600 MHz
Shouldn't it be 1200MHz? this behaviour occures since 2 last updates.
I think it is showing dynamic value. Try something to increasing load of router cpu then it will scale to 1200 Mhz. What I observed on WRT1900AC V1 with this build.
Is the performance of the wifi on the builds generally poor? I recently purchased the WRT1200 and flashed it right away, so I can't compare to stock. Using 2.4 or 5 channels I'm getting 24 Mbps and 32Mbps respectively. Using my older router running a 3 year old version of DD and I'm getting 91Mbps. I have messed with all the settings yet, but you'd think out of the box would be a little better than this.
I should also add that upload speeds are still fine and I'm able to hit 91 up on both routers.
Flashed back to stock, getting the same speeds so I'm guessing this router is just crap.

OK. First of all thanks for one of the world best router firmware home users like us. KEEP UP GREAT WORK.
Device : WRT1900AC V1
This is a first time I upgraded this weekend from first beta release router database build to this build. I did go through the pain of re-configuring (Expected and want to keep stock on other partition). There are some minor tweaks here and there compare to previous setup. Everything was good.
Issues :
1. Random reboot on heavy file transfer from LAN device to WIFI device
2. 5 Ghz wifi drops and switched off (Observed in the router LED). Only enabled back on manual reboot.
Not sure anybody having this issue or it just for me due to my config.
PS : I will be not be available to respond till next week (Traveling)

I believe that the build you are currently using has the 4.9 kernel in it. The WRT1900ac V1's do not like the 4.9 kernel. Since I am not using a WRT1900AC V1 as my router I am not sure what the latest build is with the 4.4 kernel. A little looking around on this site should answer that or just ask. _________________ Unifi Security Gateway:Unifi Firmware Netgear r7800:Voxel Firmware Modem:Netgear CM500V voice and Data.

Worst 2 minutes ever.
Running fine on my wrt3200. As an experiment as Brainslayer said I could use previous backup I used backup from r32587. Restore went fine and the wrt3200 is running great. Finally this router is showing what it can do with proper firmware.
I'm still using DD-WRT v3.0-r30700M kongmv (09/27/16)
Do you recommend I upgrade? Do you use OpenVPN? Another user reported issues with it, I host an OpenVPN server on my WRT1900ACS v.1. wondering also if there are any major security vulnerabilities that have been patched since this version.

The best stable version for the WRT1900AC v1 is r31924, if you can find it (it got pulled, so try here: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=309686 ). You can downgrade from the current version via a WebFlash without losing any settings.
r31924 has been up for 36 days without any issue on my v1 since I downgraded from the unstable r32170.
just upgraded to this build from kong sept build on my wrt1900acs v.1
OpenVPN Server seems to be broken on this build for me, (was working great on Sept Kong build)
Getting a
TLS Error: TLS handshake failed
Anyone have any insight on this or recommendation for a build with openvpn server support
Also, some strange error messages under DDNS;
Thu Jan 1 11:00:31 1970: INADYN: Started 'INADYN Advanced version 1.96-ADV' - dynamic DNS updater.
Thu Jan 1 11:00:31 1970: I:INADYN: IP address for alias 'all.dnsomatic.com' needs update to 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xx'

Wed Jul 19 20:24:34 2017: W:'RC_IP_INVALID_REMOTE_ADDR' (0x12) updating the IPs. (it 0)
Update; just reverted to DD-WRT v3.0-r30700M kongmv (09/27/16), all is working again.
With this build visiting status/openvpn, there is no information displayed. Can someone kindly confirm OpenVPN sever functionality on this build please.
Is it a matter of generating new certs, mine are less than a year old?
And if their is an issue with Openvpn server running on this build could someone kindly suggest another build to try?
Update 2: OpenVPN server is indeed working great with this build. Issue was a configuration error on my part due to a lack of knowledge and a slight change having been made to how openvpn does things... Always a good time catching up
Anyways, glad Bryan Slayer is still supporting this router, thanks Bryan Slayer for the updates m8!

r31924 has been up for 36 days without any issue on my v1 since I downgraded from the unstable r32170.
The one issue with r31924 is it uses the old version of OpenVPN which has a security exploit. If you don't use the OpenVPN server and leave it disabled you should be fine.
I do however agree that r31924 is otherwise a rock solid build. I ultimately upgraded to the current build because of the OpenVPN exploit and the fact that I do use the OpenVPN server.
This current build does thus far appear to be just as rock solid as the r31924 build on my WRT1200AC v2 hardware. The builds between this current one and r31924 were a mess.
Thanks! I just switched to 31924 and I feel better already. Thanks for the info. I look forward to the next build of DDWRT.
BTW: I implemented OpenVPN on my RaspberryPI so I'm not exposed to the OpenVPN implementation issues on my WRT1200AC V1. It seems to work just fine.
Followup: I just went to the latest build, 32868 - no problems after 2 days.
