@ALT You say you "followed the tutorial that came along with the router". Did you install DD-WRT on it, or are you running the stock firmware? If you aren't running DD-WRT then you've probably come to the wrong place.
Hello again!
I didn't installed DD-WRT in it cause I'm 100% noob and was afraid of bricking my router.
So at really I just wanted to know if installing DD-WRT could fix the issue or if this bug was something totally unrelated to the firmware.
Anyway, now I will do it . I read the wiki for Asus RT-N13U, this thread, the peacock thread and other stuff.
But I still have some doubts:
Which of them would you recommend me to use? (or should i use another one)
2) Peacock thread says about hard reset before and after flashing, but the wiki doesn't even mention it.
Should I do like Peacock says or I should just follow the wiki ?
By the way, I read somewhere that 30/30/30 put this router in recovery mode. So, what would be the real procedure to hard reset this router?
Thank you!
Allright, I realized Peacock thread is about Broadcom, so I followed the wiki and got DD-WRT installed sucessfully.
Unfortunately, after 3 hours, I lost the connection to all devices again and couldn't access web GUI (198.162.1.1).
When I put in recovery mode and reinstall DD-WRT, it works for a while but soon I lost all the connection again.
So the issue is not related to the firmware, it is something else that I have no idea what it could be. Now I gotta figure it out . I don't even have any idea on how to open this router box to check inside it.
@ALT what version did you end up installing? When I did my initial install (about 18 months ago) I used the recommended build to do the Asus to DD-WRT flash with the *.TRX file, then I followed up and did an upgrade to the most recent branslayer *webflash.bin build via the DD-WRT web gui. Haven't looked back since.

Is it possible to make a lan port act as wan and the wan as lan?
I have tried this, but it didn't work:
nvram set vlan0ports="0 2 3 4 5*"
nvram set vlan1ports="1 5"
nvram commit
reboot
I want to do this because I need to connect the internet cable through an extra switch, otherwise it shows that it is disconnected. The lan ports work without switch.

Asus RT-N13U B1 - chip Ralink RT3052F this option isn't suitable for it. Use the "switch" command:
Code:
root@My-Fan:~# switch vlan dump
and
root@My-Fan:~# switch vlan set [vlan idx] [vid] [portmap]

Both .TRX and .BIN files were the most recent brainslayer (ftp://www.dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2/2013/05-27-2013-r21676/asus-rtn13ub1/).
But even with DD-WRT the issue persisted (Suddenly loses connection with all devices, doesn't matter if wired or wireless. Leds on router still on as if nothing wrong had happened).

I have same problem, not only with newest dd-wrt, but also with the recommended one and many more...
It seems that processes are hanging:

I am new to this forum and using DD-WRT from long time but now I am not able to connect to router whenever i tried to connect any device which is 20 feet from router. I tested on different mobile, laptop and with different OS. I restored router firmware to original firmware but i don't face similar problem with this. Currently router is running on DD-WRT v24 sp2 build. Is there any problem with setting. I can see 40% signal strength in another room but still i am not able to connect.

Hi,
I have a Asus RT N 13U B1 router. I flashed DD WRT firmware to my router. I can access the internet and all.
Now I am trying to connect my Hard disk to the USB port. I have My Book 2 TB external hard drive. I formatted it to FAT32 using Verbatim Smart Disk tool.
Then I connected it to my router and tried to enable USB service.
But it is showing the status as not mounted.

I am not a Linux person. So I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Please help. I have tried
I am using Asus RT N13 B1 with DD-WRT and it is placed in the Hall corner. The WiFi has consistently delivered a good strong signal and the ability to use it throughout my house. Few days ago I am not able to use it in the Next room which is at around 8 meters from the router. On Linux mint I can see signal strength at 40 to 50% but when i tired to connect it, it shows connecting and after some time, it asks for password.
I can connect with router in hall without any issues. I had tested connection with 2 Laptops, 3 Phones and tablet also but i cant connect with any device. I have done the usual troubleshooting stuff such as rebooting, resetting to factory default etc but to no avail.
Has anyone observed symptoms like the ones I describe?

I just went through a whole lot of hassle getting my RT-N13U b1 to operate in repeater mode and thought that I'd share what I found out.
As I looked around the various threads, I saw several people with the same problem as me: the router can see the network, you set it up with all the right credentials, but it won't acquire a network address and can't access the host network. But many other people said that they had no trouble with repeater mode on this unit. I tried the builds they were using, but still no dice.
The answer was the host network version. It seemed like everyone who had it working was running a wireless N host network, but my host network is wireless G. So tried it with my wireless N network at work, and repeater mode worked like a charm. Turns out with older builds, the N13 seems to not like connecting to a wireless G network.
As a last ditch effort before going back to the ASUS firmware, I tried loading one of the latest builds (20453). It now works. Don't know what changed in the builds, but this thing is running great now.

Hi, I just purchased an Asus RT-N13U (revision B1) and tried installing DD-WRT according to the instructions (using the latest release asus-to-ddwrt.trx).
My problem is that the flashing fails, at approximately 63% of the file. I tried both AFRU (from a Windows machine) and TFTP (from Linux). Is there anything else I need to do? Should I try another version?

I tried other dd-wrt versions (all for the same router, ver B1). The AFRU always stops at 4391936 bytes, then gives the following message:
"Failed to upload the firmware. Please check the connection between your computer and router."
I can telnet into 192.168.1.1 and login with admin/admin. Is there anything I can do with this? Is it possible that the memory of the router is somehow "full", and I need to delete some files?
I have read about the 30/30/30 deep reset, but found no "reset" button on this router. Should I use "restore"? Is the procedure different for this router?
Otherwise, the router works with the ASUS firmware. I could even upgrade it using the web GUI, so it is definitely not bricked.
