I flashed a D-Link DIR-835 vA1 with DIR-825 vC1 v20119. The flash was some what successfully. The WAN port and DHCP are both working for LAN internet connections. But the "Advanced Wireless Settings" menu is missing, so I can not adjust the "TX Power." I have disabled the wireless right now and using a Belkin F5D7231-4 V1000 running v14929 to forward the wireless DHCP requests to the D-Link. The setup has been running for four days with no problems.


Enable the Advanced Wireless settings page with the tickbox in Wireless page.


Thanks, I found the tickbox. I will let it run with the current configuration for another week to make sure there are no problems. Then, I will setup the wireless. I am using this as an AP in a campground for 25-50 clients. How high of TX power should I run on the DIR-835? I want stability/reliability more than distance. Lastly, the "TX Antenna Chains" and "RX Antenna Chains" both show "1+2" is this because I am running DIR-825 vC1 firmware? The DIR-825 vC1 has only two antennas and the DIR-835 vA1 has three.

As a thumb rule, use only the power needed to cover the client area.
The only difference afaik between DIR-825C1 and DIR-835A1 is the 5GHz radio which is 3t3r in DIR-835A1 and 2t2r in DIR-825C1.
The 2.4GHz radio is 2t2r in both of them.

Please post a paste of dmesg after router boot here so I can request the router to be included for full dd-wrt support.

Ok, I rebooted and here is what dmesg gave me.

I successfully flashed dd-wrt onto two 835 units today, and am typing this from a wireless bridge between an 825 and 835. The range doesn't seem to be affected even though the 1+3, 1+2+3, etc options aren't available in the 20119 build (but was probably done intentionally for the 825 rev. c, as the 19519 build for the 825 rev. b has those options).

For sure it's a bit buggy, I wasn't actually able to get it working through the menus, i took a backup of an 825 unit and applied it to an 835 just now though and it is working.

Also just FYI for anyone who tries this- The 5ghz channel does have those options, only the 2.4ghz is missing them, and I was able to get a 5ghz channel bridge working through the menus, it was the 2.4ghz that I had problems with.

In all i'd say this is prety good news that it works this well... shouldn't take too much extra work to get a dedicated build with these kinds of results, but I have not tested it very much as of yet.

It's been quite a while. Anyone know if any progress is being made on the 835?

Anyone installed this yet? the directory says 835, but links to a file called "dir825a1-firmware.bin"

http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/other-downloads?path=others%2Feko%2FBrainSlayer-V24-preSP2%2F2013%2F01-01-2013-r20453%2Fdlink-dir835-a1%2F

I guess that's what the above post is trying to clarify?... Anyways guess i'll install it, even if it is still based on the 825, I've had that running fine for months now.

Anyone had any luck with the 825 firmware on the 835. The stock firmware is sadly slow and lacking lots. Used dd-wrt on a dir 615 and loved it. Also, anyone know of a log reader like Wallwatcher for dlink routers. Wallwatcher doesnt seem to work well with the stock 835.

Yeah, been using it since early January.

No issues whatsoever. It works. I am not using it for anything fancy (just plain WiFi, static DHCP for most devices, no pppoe but DHCP on WAN, no QoS, no VLANs or anything like). Again, it just works.

Only issue I have is that changes to config seem to break something, and a reboot is always necessary after. For example, fresh after a reboot everything works fine. Once running, change a NAT or firewall rule, and apply changes. For whatever reason, radio power is reduced (from 24dBm to 20dBm on 5GHz) and WiFi becomes unstable, with clients dropping randomly. Reboot, and everything is 100% stable again.

Really happy with it, now that I am done tinkering with the configuration.
