thanks for the link. I just updated to custom after seeing some problems with the Buffalo pro version. I noticed router would lock and lose connection to internet and then all wireless clients would lose connection to lan.
So from the wiki we do not have to do a 30,30,30 hard reset. We just have to do reset to defaults from within the router which it says is the same as a hard reset?
Can you also do the 30,30,30 or there is no need for this with the Atheros Chipsets?
I am also wondering why we have to set the ip addresses/gateway as per wiki before we do the dd-wrt flash?
Final question. Is anyone seeing radio WIFI dropouts if channel is left to auto and it somewhat going away if hard set to a channel?
Does this router have the Ath9K? I see a thread on it regarding dropouts.
Thanks
I didn't do a 30,30,30 reset. just a hard reset off router button. I believe the ip change is so you know what ip is being used and everything is set to default. I once did a firmware update with my own ip address scheme that i like to use and when I bricked the router when i ran into problems I couldn't connect to it using the various methods of de-bricking my router. a complete headache you can avoid by simply going with the defaults in my opinion.
Don't know about radio drops. with one day exception, its worked great since moving to custom build. i've switched channel to a less used one in my neighborhood. it sucks the range of channels overlap but that's wifi. use inssider to scan channels.

Thanks for the responce. Well that makes sense if something were to go wrong by having those settings on the PC it may be easier to unbrick I am guessing or just not allow any other traffic to interfere during the flashing.
I returned my WZR-D1800H for two N600's. For the price of one I can get 2 N600 routers which is all I will ever need as far as bandwidth and the N600 is made to run DD-WRT where the WZR-D1800H is not as far as stock DD-WRT from Buffalo.
