Anyone noticed any WiFi download issues? I'm getting < 1Mbps on speedtest. Uploads are fine (~6-7Mbps). When I try on my LAN connected PC, I get ~20-30Mbps down. I'm running the dd-wrt.v24-18774_NEWD-2_K2.6_mega-nv60k.bin fw. Also tried dd-wrt.v24-18946_NEWD-2_K2.6_mega-nv60k.bin, same issue. My Wifi Settings are as follows:
I bought a new E3200, flashed with with the recommended image - dd-wrt.v24-17201_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini-e3200.bin
I then flashed (using dd-wrt, saying don't keep settings): dd-wrt.v24-16758_NEWD-2_K2.6_mega-nv60k.bin
That seemed to stop it from working - I waited a long time. I notice I could still ping it on bootup (TTL=100) and managed to tftp the original 17201 build back on, but that hasn't fixed it. I've tried tftping the original build, but it always fails as I think it's too big (fails after about 6000 blocks using OSX tftp).
I've reflashed the 17201 build one last time, but now it seems to be in a constant cycle of rebooting (but not offering the bootloader TTL=100 ping)
I managed to scrounge up a Windows install, and used the official tftp / tfp2 utilities, and successfully uploaded the files (doing 30-30-30s before/after etc) and it just keeps pinging with TTL=100. After an hour, I get bored, reset it and it never pings again.
Any suggestions on how I can get a stable image back on (stock or DD-WRT), without using a JTAG (I'm pretty remote, so any parts I need to order will take up to 2 weeks to arrive).

Why ?
Because I stupidly assumed that once dd-wrt was on, I could then flash any image with "nv60k" on the end. I've only ever used Buffalo WHR-HP-G54, RT-N16 and D-LInk DIR-615 before, and that was the case with all of them...
I'm now assuming that's not the case! The Peacock thread seems to indicate I have to go through another image first. If there's a preferred image to use for the "mega" pack, I'm all ears... But I'd prefer to get the router actually booting properly first

I just bought an e3200 and flashed 18946 on it. It works fine from what I see.
Does anyone know if this router has onboard led pinouts ? I was using the led pinouts on my old wrt54gl to turn on a server and I'd like to do the same with this. How could I detect what leds are software controllable on this router?
i recently flashed my E3200 from default to DD-WRT v24-sp2 (06/14/11) mega. Since i got it running i cant access programs (teamviewr, utorrent, radmin, sabnzbd) via wan anymore even though the ports are open. The only thing i can access via wan is the router interface. Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong?

I would probably consider turning off the accessing the router web-config over WAN, or if you do have to keep it, ensure you use SSL.
I think you need to do a search on this forum regarding "loopback" issue. I might be wrong but this could resolve your issue as it has something to do with the port forwarding that the router does I believe.

thanks,
I'm have a similar problem. I'm resolve this issue change the Wireless Network Mode configuration from "mixed" to "BG-Mixed".
In Android 4.0 I don't have this problem, but en 2.3 yes.

Advanced Settings are all default except TC Power is set to 84mW.
Not sure if you resolved this or not, but I was just checking in on the 5GHz updates and saw your post.
I too was having issued with slow wifi, and thought it was because I had moved into an apt building where everyone and their grandmother had wifi.
All the channels we swamped - the frequencies cluttered with signal - hence me here looking for 5Ghz driver updates.
My original settings were pretty much identical to yours. After I upgraded my Blackberry to an HTC, (BB needed NG mixed as it only had G) I swapped everything to AUTO. Channel, Channel Width, everything. After the switch, my speeds pretty much tripled.
Try setting to N-only, unless you need the G. If you do need the G, try switching the channel and channel width to auto. I know all the gurus are going to chime in with the "channel 1 and 11 only" since they don't overlap, but in a heavily populated area, auto was the way to go.
One note: I started my 3200 on the 17201, which ran fine for months, except the 5GHz, and the DDNS. I went to the 18946, and didn't see any boost. However my SSH refused to work. So I downgraded to 18777, which fixed the SSH issue. I didn't try the DDNS, since I didn't need it any longer (installed inadyn on one of my Linux boxes).
My current FIOS speeds are 45\31 over wireless - which I get on Speakeasy (Washington) using an iPad2, HTC One S, and an Alienware laptop. About 20-30 ft distance.
These speeds are from the Verizon 35\35 package.
I also wanted to quote the wiki on your Ack timing setting:
"Remember an ACK timing too low can cause issues with a slower client such as a 802.11b device therefor 300m should be the lowest one would ever go. " Mine is set to 300.
Will see how it goes, and look forward to the 5 Ghz drivers. Out of all of the information i have read through i am still a little confused as the the exact process for flashing a 3200 (i have flashed a few wrt54g routers in the past).
At this time am i right in asuming i can flash it with the latest build up with 16Mb size. Then i need to install Optware to utelize the USB slot for NAS storage?
I did read through everything just wanted to make sure i understood before i give it a try... don't wantto have to build a Jtag for a brand new router!
Do NOT use a build less than 17201 or you will brick your unit. You will not be able to recover without a JTAG cable

I've been caught with the same issue. Managed to trash the router with some older firmware. Looks like there is no "easy" way to fix without a JTAG. Any tips for JTAGging one of these ??
(Guess I'll need to get that JTAG cable...or send it back to Cisco and act stupid )
