Hello,
we bought a few new WRT1200v2 Router. After flashing the device to dd-wrt, the devices runs about a few minutes normaly, and without any dooing - then, the device lost the connection (no ping, no ssh - nothing) lan led an wireless led continue bluring.
Only the Internet led turns off at that momment.
I test following versions of dd-wrt
30796
31533
31791
33413
33492
always the same problems.
at the moment the original linksys firmware runs again on the device.
Has anyone had similar experiences?
FIRMWARE:OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r8217-2cc821e / LuCI Master (git-18.276.41146-280dd33) MODEM:ARRIS SURFBoard SB8200 ROUTER:Linksys WRT32X USB NAS:Western Digital BLACK 1 TB Hardrive + Startech USB 3.0 External SATA III Enclosure
what services do you have running? any attached storage devices?
we have the same device but fortunately i haven't encountered any of those you have with any build.. _________________ Router: Linksys WRT1200AC v2
Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r44048 std [08/02/20]
not so good - after about 1h, the same again... device is not pingable and the Internet led turns off at that moment.
and it happens, while i'm clicking a menü entry..
Do you have wireless on?
I have a separate wireless router, so I turn my wireless on the AC1200V2 off. But I found that unless you leave at least 1 radio on (I leave 2.4ghz one) for a couple of days, DD-WRT will hang in a few hours or a day or two.
So, 1st, try leaving the 2.4ghz radio on for a couple of days. Then turn it off..
i think i found the reason. The Hardware of this device is damage.
I flashed many other WRT1200v2 and all these Routers runs without this issue.
thanks all..
How did you conclude that?
I have the same issues with openwrt/lede and also with stock firmware on my wrt1200v2.
I sent my old one back to linksys (it gets exchanged) 'cause I also thought of a hardware issue.
Now meantime waiting for the router I ordered a brandnew one (same model) from amazon.
Right now I encounter the same issues with new router on stock, dd-wrt and openwrt/lede firmware.
I'm starting to go crazy here

hmm - good question. in my case, only the first WRT1200v2 i flashed has this problem. i flashed many others without issues anymore...
In that case I'll pray that the new router comming from linksys has no issues.
