Hi there,
I'm the (un)lucky new owner of a WRT32X. I wanted to buy the WRT3200ACM but the reseller offered me this "upgrade" for free. Well, why not.
The problem is the UI is totally empty. I mean, it's good for gamers who just want to play COD and don't want to spend time with their router config I guess. I can't even filter my wifi with MAC addresses. I was also happy with the VPN server feature on the WRP3200ACM but it's definitely missing on this one.
I was wondering if there is an alternative web UI or if I could install the WRT3200ACM firmware.

I think something needs to be fixed to flash to ddwrt from the Linksys stock. The problem is I don’t think the developers have that model.
Ah OK never knew that.
Maybe @spyesx can see if he can return it and go for his original choice of a WRT3200ACM? _________________ Router Model: Netgear R8000
Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r41813 std (12/29/19)
Modem: Super Hub 3.0

I have the 32x and the only thing I like about it is the stock firmware is based on openwrt which is a big change from the previous editions of this router. But I still would love ddwrt.
@flakie I use a cable yes. I actually did the normal reset and then the 30-30-30 reset after that. Just to see if there is a difference.
Well, it looks like I'll have to return it instead. It works well though. If you need a plug and play router for noobs it's perfect It's pretty expensive for a plug and play though.
