Hi Folks,
I flashed my WR740N v4 with the latest build. Works amazing. Thanks.
I'm having a hard time getting the remote access to work.I installed it at a friends house who wants to control her kids from using the internet during times they should be at school.
I enabled the remote 'Web GUI Manangement'. I didn't enable the SSH or Telnet yet.
I tried going in the web browser of my mobile phone on the 3G network (not on the LAN) and typed in their external IP with the colon and the port of the WEB GUI. But it fails to connect. I switched the port to 8081.

Hi friends,
I've been using this router for two years as an AP. I'm using PPPOE for WAN connection (build v3.0-r29837 std).
But when I installed the latest build (33679) the PPPOE does not connect after reboot.
I also installed some previous builds to have that working but did not work. they all had the same problem.
You can't flash stock fw or openwrt from dd-wrt.
If you want to flash openwrt, you must return to stock firmware, then flash the "factory" openwrt version.
Not the sysupgrade!
You must use a special file to return to stock firmware from dd-wrt.
It's a stock firmware modified to be recognized by dd-wrt.
HotSpot system does not work for me too confirmed, it seems that's the only issues with DD-WRT on this Router
Hello! What exact issues are you having with HotspotSystem on WR740N? I am also trying to setup HotspotSystem on it, but I'm getting really strange issues. I've flashed build 36330 on the router. Briefly, my lan and the primary wifi network are bridged to br0, and I made another vap on br1. To test the hotspot with HotspotSystem, I wanted to make another vap on br2. This new vap will work without a DHCP server, so I haven't added a new dhcpd under the Multiple DHCP servers. Also, I have disabled dhcpd for vap1, and configured DHCP assigning through dnsmask. After that, I activated the hotspot on br2, and rebooted the router. Now the issue is, the hotspot works, but on the main wifi (br0) and the first vap (br1), it connects, but it's needed quite long time for the DHCP to assign an IP. Any ideas?
Hey guys,
I have just flashed with latest beta (factory to dd-wrt and then upgrade to latest beta). Unfortunately router is not responding now - lights are flashin etc. but i can not log onto 192.168.1.1
Tried rebooting, reseting and nothing seems to work - what can I do or how can I connect to it to setup/reflash/revert?
My WAN port is busted by lightning. Is there a way to make a LAN port as WAN? I've seen somewhere that is possible only with Broadcom chip and not Atheros, is that true? Or it must be a solution in my case too?

Some time ago I put by mistake WAN cable in LAN port so I tried if selecting eth0 as WAN works. And it works. In Setup > Networking > Port setup > WAN port Assignment > select eth0 instead of eth1 (I'm on Atheros, WR841n v11).
Edit: but to be fair I don't use LAN, only wifi, so I don't know if conecting clients to other LAN ports is working, probably not.
