Router: TP-Link TL-WR841ND v9
CPU: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9533 rev 1.1 (0x0141)
Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (04/01/15) std - build 26635

Reposted to correct thread
Mistakenly posted to the Broadcom thread. Sorry, my first post. Maybe
I can get a useful answer here?
Update: Client connections are inconsistent and also the "Language" on
the Management tab is stuck on "Catalan" and can't be changed - even
though everything is in English. Can anyone suggest another build to
use that would clear up these bugs?
Thanks

I'm using DD-WRT v24-sp2 (04/01/15) std, (SVN revision 26635) on a TP-Link router. About 3 hours ago my wireless network stopped broadcasting the SSID of my network (Buckeye). On the Setup/Wireless tab,
the SSID name is blank and won't accept any name I type in.

Anybody have a clue?

I've been using the same build for 10 months without a problem. This has never happened before (SSID is blank). I have a very simple wireless network setup w/ router as AP. Only one PC connected via ethernet and as many as 30 wireless clients (phones, TV's, printers, XBox, etc.). I use a mac filter as only security.

Follow-up: Since my first post, all wireless clients have been able to reconnect to my network despite the fact the router is not broadcasting an SSID, or maybe is broadcasting a "blank" SSID, which these forums tell me is "impossible". All the clients are now showing an SSID of "dd-wrt", which has always been the router name, but never the SSID. All is working smoothly again. I just can't give it an SSID. (It won't accept "dd-wrt" as the SSID either.)

Thanks for the "warm welcome" to my first post ever.

You might try a 30 reset...

Otherwise, you might consider flashing with a newer build.

I have been using build 29218 from 3/7/2016 with no issues.
