I just tested the standard version on WHR-G300N.
When 40MHz channel width is selected, the repeater bridge configuration cannot be saved or applied in the GUI. However, if I setup 40MHz channel width in AP mode save and apply it, then I can change the wireless mode to repeater bridge and save and apply. The repeater bridge WiFi throughput is slightly higher compared to 15778 that I was using earlier (yay).
So far so good, I will test long term and report if there is any instability.
Edit: I have deleted the RAM problem I have reported above to avoid confusion. I fixed that problem by flashing the Ralink SoC SDK again and reflashing DD-WRT with tftp method. I am not sure how it happened but Ralink SoC SDK created the problem. _________________ WNR3500L DD-WRT-18730-Kong Gateway/Firewall/NAS

Another DIR615 D2 & D4 confirmed LAN ports totally dead after f/w upgrade, lights are out etc. WLAN still seems functional but I don't have a laptop handy so I'll have to borrow one in order to go back to old working f/w.
I've got a problem with a Senao ESR-9752, based on a Ralink SoC, configured as repeater-bridge and connected to an AP-router. In short, the bridging between WLAN and VLAN seems that is not working with build 16754. It was working with build 16214. I've checked from the linux command line the vlan1 and vlan2 configuration in nvram and the br0 configuration using brctl and everything seems to be correctly configured. I have updated the system keeping the NVRAM configuration (I have not reverted to factory defaults with re-configuration from scratch). Now with 16754 I can reach the senao device via wireless, but I can not reach any of the devices connected the wired LAN ports. A little bit of additional info in my post in the Senao devices forum: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=132591&sid=2077aafd4dbf4cd58eda323083a346f9.
Can this be another effect of the "LAN not working" issue? But it would be strange because I have checked dmesg and the kernel recognizes the plugging/unplugging of the ethernet cables so the hardware interfaces seem to be activated, but the bridging is not working. Here the output of the mii registers described in the ticket #2028 (they seem to be ok, the register 0 is not 0800):
If additional info or research on the device config is needed I will be more than happy to cooperate.
BTW I have read all the wikis and searched the forums about repeater-bridging, bridging, vlans and I have found nothing that could explain why with this build it is not working anymore (I did my homework before posting).
Late news: browsing the changesets I've found the big changeset #16763 "config update to fix various ralink switch problems" so I think it's just a matter of being patient and wait the next build that should fix the switch problems.
