When I switch the unit off and then back on, 5 out of 10 times it comes back up. What I mean when i say back up is, the dhcp server sends the ip address and the wireless network shows up on my laptop. (also if the amber light is off the wireless doesn't work)
If i switch it off, then on again a few times, eventually it will come back up. When it is back online the unit runs for months with no random reboots or querks.
I don't know what the real problem is, but sometimes i need to restart the router from the wan side (when im not home) and it doesn't come back up.
I know that there was a slight mention of a reboot bug, but i couldn't find anymore information on it.

Although i don't believe its a make/model issue, post says its a K26 issue, i use K26 14289 Brainslayer on my wrt320n and it boots up fast everytime, although honestly i haven't had to reboot it for some days now, so im not sure what it may be but perhaps that link may provide you with more info and insight as well. _________________ Wireless N Config | Linking Routers | DD-WRT Wiki | DD-WRT Builds | Peacock - Broadcom FAQ
I have the 610v2, 610v1 & 320. The 610v2 is the only one that takes longer to boot up I've seen it as bad as 15min which is nuts! I think the problem is that the CFE is causing book-up issues for DD-WRT and causes IP address issues.
I have my 610v2 on a UPS to prevent long reboot issues. _________________ Home Network on Telus 1Gb PureFibre - 10GbE Copper Backbone

It was discussed that a serial capture of the boot was needed. I don't think that ever happened. That would be the only way to resolve the issue.. Find out what is happening during boot.
I don't have a V2.. just a V1 _________________ [Moderator Deleted]
Check your power supply. Check the available nvram (note 10 of the peacock) and make sure you did a proper hard reset when you flashed the firmware. if not, start over. You also might try the 13525 build.
ReadtheAnnouncements!
Of Course i've followed the peacock posting and the 30/30/30 reset. Thats the first thing i do with any router.
The power supply is operating correctly, I use a voltmeter attached between the power supply and the router to verify current and voltage. No problems there.

I will consider that, only thing is that i don't have a cable or anything made. I know how to solder and make cables but if its possible to post the links (procedure) here for doing it. I will also post my images and procedure here for anyone interested. _________________ 1x WRT610Nv2 big - 14280 NEWD-2 K2.6 BrainSlayer

you can get to the serial connections via connections in the wan port so you don't even have to open the box.
There is lots & lots of info about this on the board. There is also the "everything you wanted to know about serial" (something like that), that has pics & links to the equipment needed.
I'll do it.. I'll trade ya my V1 for your V2 _________________ [Moderator Deleted]
I appreciate your offer, but even though im having troubles i still love my router.:)
I found the article that shows how to make the cable to serial into the router, I remember reading something about this, just needed a memory jog to recall how to do it
In case of your rebuttal of not reading the peacock, this forum is dedicated to solving problems by developing solutions. Since no one has figured out how to fix this problem with this router it is the first tutorial on how. SO cut the people pioneering things a little slack and actually help instead of looking down on people that have a life (not reading the peacock thread like a bible) _________________ 1x WRT610Nv2 big - 14280 NEWD-2 K2.6 BrainSlayer
