Hello,
yesterday I switched from Buffalo r17798 "alpha" to BrainSlayer's r18777 and the 2.4GHZ N-Speed is much better now.
But now I have one problem: I can't connect to my 2.4GHZ "N-Only" Network with older 802.11n devices like iPhone 3GS or my Asus netbook with Atheros AR9285 NIC. With NG-Mixed Mode the connection works well and these devices connect with 802.11n and 150mbit/s or 65Mbit/s.
I checked older firmwares an untill BrainSlayer's r17201 there is no problem like this. With BrainSlayer's r17967 and above there is no connection possible with such older "n" devices. All other Devices like Panasonic TV, BD-Player, three Notebooks, some 802.11n Wifi USB-Sticks work fine with r18777.
Could anybody tell me what's the reason for this? Is there no more support for some "n" devices? Should I use older r17201 firmware or should I stay with r18777 and use NG-mixed?
I can confirm this issue. I have a laptop that uses an Atheros AR9285 wireless adapter and I cannot connect to the router if it is set to N Only mode (2.4GHz).
Channel width is set to Full 20 MHz and the channel is set to auto (I have played with these two settings a bit and cannot get it to work).
The Laptop will connect if the Wireless Network Mode is set to anything other than N-Only, including NG-Mixed. All my other wireless clients can connect on N-Only mode without an issue.
This laptop was working earlier today before I upgraded the DD-WRT firmware.
Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (03/19/12) std (North America)
WNDR3700v2

Same here, Asus laptop with atheros card, will not connect at all. Have had the problem with the past few builds.

No one listens.. stop using N-Only its broken in recent builds for 1x1 clients use NG-Mixed. A ticket was made but went nowhere of course.. _________________ [BROADCOM] Linksys E3000 ------------> [BS] DD-WRT v24-sp2 (04/15/13) mega - build 21286
