I'm done with DDWRT on my WRT1900ACv1. Every build I tried yesterday (new BS, old BS, Kong) either had reboot issues or horrible wifi. Even the highly recommended ones like 31924. I would get up to 30mbps on 5ghz but not stable. It was mostly topping out at 10mbps.
I flashed back to Linksys default and my 5ghz wifi speeds rocketed to max out my internet speed at 240mbps. I have since put a different 3rd party firmware on it with the same great results.
Not posting to bash DDWRT, but advise WRT1900ACv1 owners with my experience.
I have installed the r32597 on WRT-1900ACSv2. Everything fine. With No VPN I get approx 80Mbps, but the speeds with NordVPN are 30Mbps compared to my ISP speed of 120Mbps. Could any one reccommend any settings ?
Hi,
what other 3rd party software did you install ?
this is a very good alternative:

Yes I am currently running his 4.4 kernel build. I didn't want to advocate something besides DDWRT in this forum which is why I didn't say what firmware.
It's touchy. I agree. Kinda feels wrong, but I take the attitude that we are all trying to help each other find the best solution. _________________ My "WRT" rant, and why I have gone ddwrt on x86, no more consumer routers. ( ac86u as access points & bridges )

My WRT1200 is my secondary router (10.0.2.1) and I cant access the subnet from my main network (10.0.1.1) I used the line below with a R7000 I have, and with that router I can access the network. Is this a bug? Anyone else having this issue?

Hello All, I'll apologize for the lenghty post now...
I'm brand new to dd-wrt. I just bought a WRT1900ACSV2 in order to use a VPN for various reasons.
Just last night, I hooked it up and successfully loaded on r32597. It started off well but ended with constant problems. I can start another thread if needed as I'm sure a good bit of my issues are probably due to my inexperience/lack of knowledge of dd-wrt thus far.
The biggest issue was when I enabled WPA2 Personal encryption with AES. As soon as I did this all connections went bad. I had ath0 and ath1 both set to Full and Mixed or Auto for everything. I also tried going to 40Mhz or 80Mhz but had the same issues. I tried following a few different basic setups from various forums and websites with no consistent results.
At one point, with no encryption on 5ghz, I hit 120Mbps down and ~20Mbps up even though I pay for 100/10 from ISP. I was shocked and happy as hell until I added encryption and the next test tanked to 8 up/2 down....I haven't been able to get it remotely stable since. I tried resetting to defaults and the only way I can stay connect to the wifi is by running no encryption.
I experienced issues such as chrome locking up/slowly responding for 10 seconds (which has never happened prior to hooking to this router with r32597), changing a simple setting (such as SSID name/channel etc) and then both ath0 and ath1 would reject the security key or simply not connect. My phone might connect to 2 but not 5Ghz, my PC wouldn't connect to either or just 2.
So, I read I should reload the stock FW, load on r31899, and reset to default settings and start over. Is that a more stable release?
What other settings should I try? Any and all help is appreciated, thanks.
If anyone would like to take the time to discuss my issues with me via PM, that'd be fantastic.
I just noticed, it's using Linux 4.9.36. Good to see kernel finally updated.
Code:
Linux 4.9.36 #27 SMP Thu Jul 6 15:08:58 CEST 2017 armv7l
It runs well so far on my Linksys WRT1900ACS.
I lost lock on this thread. Do you have a Linksys WRT1900ACS V2 and you are running r32597 on it? I am running r31899 on my WRT1900ACS V2 because later builds do not connect to the WAN. I'd prefer to use a later build, but only after I understand that someone has it working properly.

I am not sure this is right post to ask or create a new post. I am using DD-WRT build 28628 from day one and I am waiting next stable release build in the router database. So
1. when would be the next stable build will be released ?
2. Will it possible with next stable release would support Backup and Restore configurations ? It is painful to go through each settings manually.

I doubt the "stable" version is much better than the current "beta" one. But may be experts here can correct me.
