Please check my signature of the wifi router and ddwrt version i'm using.

I was having issues where out of the blue my devices (multiple) stopped connecting to the access point no matter if it was smartphone or laptop.

To fix it I always resorted to reboots however I was tired of it (happen once every 2 weeks) and decided to find what was causing it.

Once I turned of DNSMASQ dns and dhcp, the devices reconnected without having to reboot the router.

I don't know if it was specifically dns/dhcp or both but just was wondering what's the point of using dnsmasq anyway. Seems useless plus a trouble maker.

Not sure where you find this link but I couldn't find it anyware on the website. I went to router database and it has no download links, it's weird. Maybe i'm missing something.

Anyway thanks, I flashed with latest firmware. I first bricked my router and put the wrong model firmware in there OOPS, but long story short, I fixed it and back up and running.
