Got files to flash to 14039 STD

Had the problem of my LAN MAC was fictitiously the same as my ath1 mac which was the sticker before flash and is after. The other macs were correct. This is what I did...

ath1 = sticker
ath0 = ath1 + 1
lan = ath1 + 2
wan = ath1 + 3

I also saved startup in commands the following (all one line)

Code:
while sleep 5; do if [ `nvram get lan_hwaddr` = "your reset to defaut mac" ]; then nvram set lan_hwaddr="your correct mac"; fi; done &


use this at you own risk, I tried it in my WRT600N and had to hard reset and reconfigure, it was unresponsive.

Tk power setting aren't matching up and signal quality seems wrong.

Wireless speeds are low too but stable.

Tested gpio's 1-40, if it's not listed I found no visual cue. How high do the gpio's go?

gpio enable 1 = Power LED Solid
gpio enable 2 = ?
gpio enable 3 = ?
gpio enable 4 = Turns off Encryption LED (blue)
gpio enable 5 = Turns off Encryption LED (amber)


gpio disable 1 = Power LED Flashing
gpio disable 2 = Reboots the unit
gpio disable 3 = ?
gpio disable 4 = Turns on Encryption LED (blue)
gpio disable 5 = Turns on Encryption LED (amber)

Wish I could figure out the gpio for the wireless LED, it's constant flashing is annoying.

Thinks i have noticed.

Mac address messed up (of course).
Tk power unaffected by changes.
Wireless strength varies greatly not sure if this is a visual mistake or actually.
Wireless speeds slower then should be by about a third at times and does stutter now and then.
Wireless channel select appears to get messed up depending on channel selection.
Wireless speeds on the status ath1 always show auto rather then actually speeds.
Changing to ath1 on status often doesn't work.
The wireless led blink of course.

Haven't tested wds or mac filtering due to the mac address issue.

Most of the issue appear to deal with wireless but that's understandable.
With a few minor cosmetic problems and control problems.

Otherwise the rest of the basic functions work fine and he already seems to have gotten past the annoying stock firmwares reboot problems.

Same issues with the mac address.

Wireless led blinks although its suppose to with wireless activity and i have a wireless media server so its always blinking.

Security LED doesn't seem to be working as mentioned.

Site survey for ath0 though shows the correct SSID's in my case.

Mind you haven't had a chance to do 30/30/30 yet which i shall do after this.

Done nothing has changed.

I think we should post all the seen issues with the firmware as tickets so brain doesn't need to go looking.

I posted some of the most common one's.

Of course i suggest wiating tell after one gets sleep since i forgot to put which version..dumb...lol

Likely doesn't much matter in this case since there are only two versions for the wrt400n.

Understandable how some bugs got missed as brain assumed that there was a valid reason for them and they got over looked.

I can confirm the TX power of the 2.4ghz radio is too low. I don't have a client running 5ghz to report on that.

This is odd iam not getting the..... ath0 shows double and triple the SSID's issue.

Mine shows just what it should.

Using both 2.4ghz and 5ghz wireless.

Wonder if a certain setting or outside hardware could be causing this.

Definitely seeing the "radio power too low" bit using 14144 build as well. I read this post, bought a 400N (needed a new router anyway), measured using stock firmware, then changed over to DD-WRT to measure the difference. Aside from that, seems rock solid - uptime is 28 hours so far, no glitches at all for me...

gpio enable 6 = Turns ooff RF LED

Does nothing on mine. Still constantly flashing.

My GPIO list for the 400N
