I updated to 27805 last night. I cleared NVRAM (both on the upgrade screen and then via SSH "erase nvram" followed by the factory defaults page) and then configured it again. I had issues for two hours with the wireless, then decided to check the advanced wireless options. I noticed the regulatory domain defaults to Germany. Can DD-WRT not figure out the region? If not, why is the regulatory domain not a normal option and instead an advanced option. I knew nothing of the other options under advanced and some are not even set, such as the protection mode. I just know that I do not live in Germany. If I did, I'd REALLY have to brush up on my German!
Also, while all is good now, I notice a delay on wireless while browsing. Nothing major, just a second or two, but it did not exist before. I have yet to try gaming on wireless since the upgrade.
Finally, I am not sure how to make a separate guest network on this new version. You see, I disable DHCP on the router since I run a Samba4 AD domain at home. It handles DNS and DHCP. With the old build (the last BrainSlayer build of 2014) I setup a bridge (br1), added a virtual wireless interface (ath0.1), added the interface to the bridge, and added some specific dnsmasq options.
This no longer works. I tried the guides on the wiki, but they both fail due to me not running DHCP on my primary network. Is it possible to have a guest network, separate from my primary network, with DHCP while the primary network does NOT do DHCP or DNS on the router? _________________ Cicero: Stab you, stab you, stab you!

I just booted my laptop and it connected to the wireless right away, but I could not load the router page or go to any website for a little over a minute. After that all is good. I also noticed that my Android (Galaxy Note 4) cannot use Hangouts when on the WiFi now. What should I be looking into? I have nothing fancy here, just a 2.4GHz and a 5GHz wireless and a gigabit LAN. I am also gigabit to my cable modem, but I actually pay for 200Mbps down and 20Mbps up. I get that through my LAN (tested), but my wireless doesn't quite get that high, and that is fine by me since I don't need 200Mbps for a single wireless device. _________________ Cicero: Stab you, stab you, stab you!

Nothing seemed to work, so I downgraded one version, to 27783, and all is good now. At least it seems that way. I will monitor it for a while and see how things go. _________________ Cicero: Stab you, stab you, stab you!

With the last "working build" being r27745 ? (Which is why I haven't updated my WNDR4300 to the latest firmware and stayed on r27745, I always check the latest build thread to see if there's any issues I should know before getting the latest revision) _________________ NETGEAR WNDR4300 ----> build r37961
I reverted to 25697 after trying about five or six new builds. None worked right. I may try 27745 later, but I am burned out on reflashing for now. None of them bricked me however. Just didn't work right. I will read that thread tomorrow, thank you for the link.
*EDIT*
I went ahead and read it. Looks like somebody closed it due to a fix just nine short hours ago. However, the build referenced isn't out yet. I may just wait for that one to be released and then give it a shot. If it fails I will go to the build you're using. _________________ Cicero: Stab you, stab you, stab you!

I'm still on 21061, where are you getting newer builds?
The version which appeared to fix the issue was 27835, and the team just released 27858. I do not have the time to try it yet, but I will soon. The link to the new version is below. I hope it helps you.
