hello guys, I installed DD-WRT v24-sp2 (03/25/13) big on the v1 E4200 router. I use to be able to connect to the 5GHZ band with the v5 linksys Firmware with no problems. But now when I try I get an error in windows unable to connect.
I tried a few different N bands and still no good.
Wireless Physical Interface wl1 [2.4/5 GHz]
Set to N-Only 5ghz is a no go.
Try deleting the saved windows wireless network first.
If you set the wireless SSID and password the same as when you had the stock firmware, there's a good chance Windows saved it under the simplest option (since some firmwares let you choose mixed WPA/WPA2, and AES/TKIP mixed).
If that doesn't work, try mixed NA mode, if your adapter is old/buggy it might only support A mode.
thanks for the help. I went back to the default FW for now. My FTP share would delete it self after about 12 hours also. Plus the hard drive I use to use was not detected. I could only get a USB stick.
