I just have to say, the WHR-G300N is really a much better router when its running dd-wrt. It has been three days now and it has not freeze or auto reboot yet. Its not even dropping wifi connection. Worlds apart when compared with the original firmware in terms of stability.
Where are these new, in between builds tested and discussed? I mean, there must be somewhere where feedback and issues are reported so the mods know when its time to recommend a newer build. Is that this thread? Noone has discussed the last few builds.

You will find most of the discussion on these builds in the Broadcom SoC based Hardware forum. _________________ (04/15/13) mega - 21286

Has anyone had a problem with intermittent internet connection outages when connecting the WAN to another router whose IP is 192.168.11.1 ?
I get disconnects every 10-30 minutes that self-resolve in 5 minutes. During disconnect, pinging the DHCP host gets a response, release/renew works, but traceroute does not. Simply unplugging and plugging back in the cable on the WAN gets immediate satisfaction with ping & trace, without any release/renew.
During all this time, WLAN and LAN works perfectly fine.
(yes, I am effectively asking the same question from another posting, but that was in response to the OP's question about DHCP. Since mine is not apparently a DHCP question and might be more generally applicable, I am asking slightly differently in this thread)

Is the Hardware Switch (Router/AP/Auto) on the backside somehow supported?
Never saw an answer for this one. Anyone know if the switch does anything at all?
The switch has no functionality with DD-WRT firmware.
That switch is ONLY used with original Buffalo firmware.
Even with Buffalo firmware - it was usually best to leave it on 'Router' _________________ Soylent Green Is People ! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I tried flashing with every possible version of the firmware with tftp. the router starts flashing slowly like it's applying the firmware and then restarts and again the diag is on steady. this started after a few days of loosing wireless, which i would fix by restarting the device. btw i have been running dd-wrt on this router for 4-5 months without a problem. i went for dd-wrt because the original firmware got messed up, so i was able to put the dd-wrt firmware on it.
one thing i remember changing a few days ago is i enabled the syslogd.
how can i bring it back to life?

You are going to have to do serial recovery if TFTP won't catch.
You can also see what's going on in the serial console as well.
The wiki has the serial recovery info for the WHR-G300N. _________________ Soylent Green Is People ! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I don't know if this is where to ask about this...
Until yesterday I had a home network plugged into a mixture of my Buffalo WHR-G300N directly and a gigabit switch which then plugged into one of the other LAN ports. This worked fine, though it's possible I had an accidental DMZ on the hardware connected via the switch.
I decided to move everything to the switch to improve LAN performance (which worked very well), but I then lost WAN access (the Internet).
My setup is
Broadband Modem/Router (that doesn't support bridging) on 192.168.169.254.
|
Buffalo WHR-G300N / dd-wrt WAN on 192.168.169.1
|
Buffalo WHR-G300N / dd-wrt LAN on 192.168.168.254
|
The LAN - A gigabit switch with other switches and devices hanging off it, all on 192.168.168.0/24.
From the LAN I can ping other computers on the LAN and the LAN and WAN side of the Buffalo. I can't ping the Internet.
From the Buffalo I can ping everything, including the Internet through the WAN.
From the Internet I can ping the Buffalo. Although I've got a port forward on SSH, it's being ignored and the Buffalo is picking it up and responding with it's own SSHD. (this wasn't previously the case).
Not sure what else to list. What config do I need to get the router routing from LAN to WAN? Are any of the 4 LAN ports "special" ?
I've tried putting this back to how they were (I'm not exactly sure what that is though, but can't even restore the old setup (with a slow LAN!)
