I don't have any problems at all, but my router (E2500) freeze after sometime.
I think that it has something to do with DHCP releases/renew, cause I change to 60 minutes and when it's getting closer my router freeze or it freezes faster.

I tried using 99999 minutes but it also freezes, when the day changes.

I am just curious if you have done any interesting tweaks to your wifi settings? I still have my second e2500 flashed dd-wrt, so it'd be cake for me to test a few things out.

Are you using any kind of wifi security? what type of signal are you using (mixed, g-only, g/n only, etc)? Did you tweak any other interesting settings?

Thanks!

dd-wrt.v24-19298_NEWD-2_K2.6_std_usb_nas-e2500.bin is flashed and all is once again good in the world of wifi!

I am getting 13mb/s down and 4mb/s up.

It's not the 40/7 that I get wired, but I was only getting 15/6 with stock wifi, and I've got my client bridge back up... so all is well in the world. At least for now. I just can't wait for the rest to get supported.

Did you flash this straight from the stock firmware or ?

At this point, do you recommend the average joe using DDWRT for the 2500? or sticking with the newest Linksys firmware?


I mean, what are they losing/gaining by going with DDWRT at this point?

I flashed my E2500 with the 19298 build (DD-WRT v24-sp2 (05/25/12) std-usb-nas - build 19298) and it seems to work great.

I have a question about the maximum number of DHCP clients. The Linksys firmware had a maximum of 13 DHCP clients. dd-wrt allows a user to enter any number, but when I enter more than 13 (e.g. 20), everything goes to hell. Many (all?) clients lose internet access if they can even connect to the network. Is there some sort of hardware restriction that would cause this? Am I stuck only being able to connect 13 devices?

(please excuse any noob -- this is the first time I've run dd-wrt... I'm trying to get around the 13 DHCP client restriction)

currently my e2500 is boot looping. I used TFTP and it says success, but then it stops bootlooping, but the power light stays blinking... forever.

Once I unplug the router and replug it back in, back to bootlooping.

Any ideas?

You really need to add links to pertinent information related to the router someone looks up. As it is, serving up outdated, buggy garbage, and no links to specific details about the device is a joke. All told, you have a pretty useless creation in that look up tool.

Also, the lookup tool shows compatibility for this device as "Yes" though I find in the forums that it is really "experimental". It is irresponsible to make such a tool available to users.

If it is the expectation that folks should shuffle through your wiki and forums for hours before using your software, it should be clearly noted when using the lookup tool. The links offered up post search only serve up a download of the garbage firmware that borked this device.

And what in the hell does this error even mean:

Information

Mistake! There was an attempt of an automatic insert of the message in a forum. Your message is not posted. Try still times who knows - can it will turn out? Still probably, that you too long wrote the message - then pass to page back, copy the text, update page, insert the copied text and press button "Send".



Did you ever find a way to un-brick your router?

I installed the E2500 DD-WRT Firmware that was on the website and it bricked my router. =/

I used TFTP and it says success, and then it quits bootlooping, but then the power light blinks forever. When I unplug it and plug it back in, back to bootlooping and the process starts all over again.

Any ideas?
