Working mostly fine for me too on WRT3200ACM, with 2 exceptions:
1) If I remove my WAN cable, the light stays white and the DD-WRT UI still shows the same IP, as it if is still connected.
The IP address will stay showing until the next DHCP renew then it will go to all zeros if no connection. I do not pay any attention the the WAN link light so cannot comment. I never disconnect from the modem.
When I disconnect it and manually release DHCP and then plug it back in, it should re-connect, but it stays disconnected.
I have a lot of confidence that this is the build that will finally be stable. I have made some adjustments over the last few days on my router setup and just am approaching 24 hours of stability. On my bridge setup, it's been going for a day and a half. Very happy so far, and hope it continues. Thanks @BrainSlayer! I will keep folks posted.
Am coming up on three days soon. This build has been fantastic for the WRT3200 - best for me since 33006. I am confident that they got it right and I can relax and enjoy stable uptimes with blazing fast speeds. It's been a long time coming and I am excited for the implementation of WDS to make this build complete. Thanks, again, @BrainSlayer and team! _________________ WRT3200ACM x2 presently running LEDE.
I just rebooted the router to get the Wifi back for the fourth time since yesterday. It was gone yet again.
Would anyone who has it working well care to post screen shots of the settings or something?
I had posted some questions regarding the three antenna after the flash to DD-WRT vs the 2 antenna system of the factory firmware and never really got a clear answer as to how it's supposed to be setup.
My current main router is another WRT3200ACM with the factory firmware and no wifi issues at all.
The IP address will stay showing until the next DHCP renew then it will go to all zeros if no connection. I do not pay any attention the the WAN link light so cannot comment. I never disconnect from the modem.
When I disconnect it and manually release DHCP and then plug it back in, it should re-connect, but it stays disconnected.
Just to add on that, this is actually a serious issue, because if the modem/router connected to the WAN port loses connectivity and then connects again or switch IP, the linksys may not get internet connection as it doesn't seem to refresh itself.
i just reboot my modem if I don't get a WAN ip address, doesn't seem to pose any issues. _________________ My "WRT" rant, and why I have gone ddwrt on x86, no more consumer routers. ( ac86u as access points & bridges )

Of course if you are on site it's not an issue, but if you are remote, as I am many times, and want to connect remotely, it can be a big problem.
Also, even if I am on site, it's an issue if I am performing some task that requires internet and go to sleep, just to find out in the morning that it couldn't complete because the router didn't renew IP.
It is a bug that must be fixed. For some people and in some scenarios - a serious bug. Maybe not an issue for you tho.

It takes "two to tango" they say. Same here. Router taps the modem on the shoulder saying hi I need an IP address and router says here you are. So issue could be with the modem and not the router. Only way you can really know is to "sniff" the link between the modem and router.

Installed on WRT1900ACV2 loving it so far.
Everything is fast and responsive.
The only issue I've noticed is that on ath0 (5 GHz) channel it's set to 157 and device reports 161
