@ArjenR49
It has now become clear that you've been doing something really wrong with your router (judging from your reports over the last few builds): you've bricked it, corrupted NVRAM backups, having WAN connection issues, etc.
How come other users with the same router have no problems at all ? http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=974171#974171
I think you could fix the issues by doing an erase nvram & reboot and properly re-flashing 27506, then manually setting it up. But you were very reticent about doing so in the past... so I won't force it. _________________ THERE ARE NO STRANGERS HERE; ONLY FRIENDS YOU HAVEN'T YET MET.

Well, I did a 30/30/30 reset on the bricked router before flashing 27506 with TFTP.
'Erase NVRAM' sounds like a command that you need to run either in the GUI's command window or using WinSCP/SSH. How to do that, when the router is bricked?

I started off by doing what user slybunda did to his WZR-HP-G300NH with positive results per his post:

in this thread.
Router Model: TL-WDR3600
Kernel: 3.10.83 #5658
Status: OK
Reset: No
Errors: Yes
Web UI on the TL-WDR3600 stopped responding after the update. After no response after 25 minutes, I had to power cycle it and the Web UI worked. Usually when this has happened in the past, the Web UI is only down for a few minutes.
I know is offtopic, but, could somebody tell me which firmware version use on TL-WDR3600, since I'll use on a clinic to provide 5Ghz for some pcs and Guest network with abuse control for pacients. And since this build has erros and the stable one is not quite "new", I'll really appreciate any advice. thanks
did u try with unbound off? (recursive dns resolve)
No I didn't. I figure that is what it is though... .......
I may tinker with it more afterlater to see for sure.
It's a bit disruptive to everyone right now if I keep rebooting main router
Turning off Recursive DNS Resolving and reboot it is all well...... don't have
to re- 'Apply Settings' ...got to be some process loading issues I reckon.
Router Model: Netgear WNDR4300
Flash: OK
Reset: No
Error: No

Primitive FTP to USB speedtest equals r26653 with approx. 11+ MByte/s, so that's fine too. _________________ Netgear WNDR4300v1 DD-WRT v3.0 BS r29837 | Netgear R6400 DD-WRT v3.0 KB r33525M | Tickets: 5429 IPv4 & IPv6-PD | ProFTP & Samba to USB thumb | DNSMasq DHCPv6 | Pi-Hole on RasPi

Yea likely and might be dhcpd in the mix also. I created guest assigned br1 completely restricted (but for 1 IP) a couple builds back. Got to do more testing when I get in.

Upgraded WZR-HP-G300NH from 27456 to 27506 hoping that the NVRAM issue and the upgrade through WEB GUI problems might have been solved.
Nothwithstanding someone else's report in this thread about a succesful upgrade of a WZR-HP-G300NH (without resetting to boot) via the WEB GUI I had no such luck: router bricked.
So I TFTP'd v27506 ->
it seemed like working OK in every respect ... except it wasn't able to get a WAN IP from my cable modem no matter what I did to coax it ...
NVRAM backup is also still broken in v27506.
So, even though 27506 otherwise seemed OK, I was forced to go back to 27456 (again by using TFTP). After restoring all the settings from ca. 30 screen dumps WAN IP was fine right away.
Luckily I won't be tempted to try new firmware for about 5 months, since I won't be anywhere near this router
Judging by the dates in my TFTP instruction file TFTP has been my only working way to upgrade this WZR-HP-G300NH since February 2013, which seems like an awful long time for a bug like that.
Before that upgrading via the GUI was fine every time.
I have 2 WZR-HP-G300NH. I haven't updated yet because it's such a pain in the ass to disconnect the routers and flash them via TFTP every time. From a certain release on (which I can't remember) it always fails to update via the web GUI. Bricks every time. But I guess that has been mentioned several times here before. I do the 30/30/30 reset and manually configure the routers every time after updates.
I haven't had any WAN issues so far, but then again I haven't updated to the latest version yet.

Removing everything associated with ath0.1 guest network did not have any affect on the 'unbound' loading issuse.
Even putting router IP in Static DNS 1 still will not do local DNS after a reboot if 'Recursive DNS Resolving'
is enabled -- until you 'Apply Settings'.... So that tells alot --- WTH, I'm going to leave it enabled cause I like it and
maybe BS will look into it someday besides the router has a 45 min BU power supply so it shouldn't ever be rebooted anyways
EDIT: "will not do local DNS after a reboot..." I guess I should say it will
resolve its on name. That's the only way I ever connect -- clean cleared browser
It has always resolved its own name thru all this even when it won't resolve others.
