My router(RT-AC66U) works with " DD-WRT v3.0-r28598 giga (12/24/15" since 17 days and 19 hours without problem nor reboot.
latest versions are really faster.
So far all builds that I tried, that is 5 or 6 according to the recommendations and also including the latest 28976 don't show the 5GHz band. It shows the 2.4GHz and something called 2.4GHz-turboqam that incidentally is not seen after setting some associated SSID.
I wonder if there is anything that has to be set in order to see the 5GHz band.

It worked! Thank you very much. I only have one question: the command described n that posting and to be entered and saved: 'sleep 5; startstop lan' , doesn't require the single quotes, right?

I am trying to change the default settings for VLANs (setting W port as Vlan1 and other ports as Vlan0) on ASUS RT-AC66U using Build r25648. However, when I reboot the router, it resets to the default settings for the Vlans. (W port is set to Vlan2 and other ports to Vlan1). I have tried this using both the GUI and the command line (vlan0ports and vlan1ports). The changes do not stay after nvram commit or applying settings on GUI . any advise would be appreciated.
I will keep that in mind, but it happens even when I use a different vlan for the ports. I mean the problem is when I put LAN under "Assigned To Bridge" to vlan3 (for instance), and WAN port Assignment to vlan1, after the reboot it switches back to vlan1 for LAN and vlan2 for WAN port. How can I make it stay? I used nvram commit, but after reboot those two settings (LAN "under assigned to Bridge" and WAN port under Networking) go back to default.

I have read through the 90 pages of this thread to see if there was any resolution to loading DD-WRT onto an RT-AC66U H/W Version A2 and did not find any.
While the stock Asus firmware loads and runs fine, all my attempts to load DD-WRT have failed usually resulting in a 3-4 minute cycle of reboots with no Ethernet or WiFi connectivity. This is even when I did a full erase of NVRAM variables through Telnet on the stock system via mtd-erase -d nvram.
Is the RT-AC66U Version A2 just a dead end platform?

I have tried dd-wrt-26339-Asus_RT-AC66U.trx, dd-wrt-29147-Asus_RT-AC66U.trx, and dd-wrt-22118-Asus_RT-AC66U.trx and all have bricked the RT-AC66U, version A2.
I reserect the router through Rescue mode with the latest Asus firmware RT-AC66U_3.0.0.4_378_9533-g2949056.trx. I always enable Telnet on the stock Asus firmware and run mtd-erase -d nvram before I load DD-WRT firmware. It does not seem to help. I also tried resetting to system defaults using the stock Asus GUI and then loading DD-WRt. Still no luck.
