Did everything (hard reset before and after, admin reset) and nothing. It just doesn't connect via wireless although my computer detects it. I also found something strange on the Wireless MAC Filter tab, everything says "error", instead of saying Wireless MAC Filter: Enable Disable, it says error: error error. And everything else the same, even the tab says error!?!?
Any ideas? Thank you.

odd, I would try rc5 and see if that works, if it does then move up to rc7 mini and see if that works, also when flashing make sure you check reset defaults option, in order to rule that out.
I had posted earlier about an issue with going from rc5 to rc7 and loosing WDS links. Now that I have had time to look into the issue, I can better explain what I am seeing. Maybe this will help some one else.
When I flash from rc5 to rc7, seems to work great except for my WDS devices. After flashing they show on the main page a link with signal quality but I cannot ping them. I have since noticed that when I look at the WDS web interface on the device I flashed that has since dropped, that all the WDS tables are blank. If I re-enter the WDS table information, the device comes back online and no other issues encountered. I have noticed that the rc6/6.2 devices I flashed up to rc7 did not have this behavior and acted normally.
That said, this isn’t a problem now that I am aware, with carful planning I can still deploy remotely. Just FYI for any of you WDS users out there.

I haven't seen the 'error' error you saw, but my ver.1 WRT was just the same: it was shouting its SSID 'til it was blue in the face (oh, wait, that's Linksys' purple....) but it remained deaf as a doornail.
Then I found a reference to the VINTage builds for the older units. Flashed it and, once again, there is joy here.
Telnet to the box and type the command
Code:
nvram show | grep corerev
. If the rev. is 9 or less, you may need the VINTage build for wireless to work properly. I haven't searched everywhere yet to find a definitive answer as to exactly which corerevs need the VINTage firmware and which need the newer firmware. For now, if the radio doesn't work as expected, try the VINTage versions.
Hi,
Just tested the newest dd-wrt final MEGA on a WRT54GS v 1.1 (8MB Flash, 32MB RAM).
Multiple SSIDs do not work only the primary one is visible (Latest version that had visible all 4 Virtual SSIDs was RC-5 .. after RC-5 no version worked fine for multiple SSIDs on WRT54GS v1.1).

Upgraded a Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 from RC5 to RC7 a couple of nights ago and began experiencing some strange networking issues:
1) None of my wired computers could ping (or any other type of network access) any of my wireless computers. Wireless computers could ping each other and wired computers without any problems.
2) Wired computers physically connected to the same GigE switch as the wireless router began experiencing general networking issues such as: sporadic inability to ping other wired computers; resulting in either timeouts or "destination unreachable" errors.
I had a hard time believing that number 2 above could be caused by the wireless router, but the upgrade to RC7 was the only thing that I'd changed on my network so I disconnected power to the wireless router and all of the networking problems my wired computers were suffering disappeared.
All of the settings in the GUI looked good to me after the upgrade (with exception to my TX power setting being changed from 10mW to a new default value of 70mW). Unfortunately, I could not do any troubleshooting beyond this cursory look at the settings because the impact to my network was so severe. I downgraded back to RC5 and restored my NVRAM and the problems went away.
Hopefully someone can isolate what may have caused this odd behavior by RC7.
Thanks.
I had a similar experience with my Linksys WRT54GL. I just had general network instability: pages wouldn't load and sometimes subsequent attempts. I started some ping tests to the internet and they eventually entered a state where they just stopped working. I then logged into the router and found the uptime was one minute... so the router had just spontaneously rebooted. I just went back to RC5.
I desperately need increase IP Filter Maximum Ports from 4096 to more... I've read that versions of dd-wrt always had a limit of 4096. So there is any way to increase it?
My stuff:
Router Model Asus WL-500g Premium V2
Firmware Version DD-WRT v24 (05/24/0 Cool mega - build 9526)
erm....DD-WRT v23 to v24 preSP2 (Build13064) does not have connect on demand or keep alive in PPPoE page anymore? cant seem to find it, only the force reconnect (which is killing ppp daemon and reconnect it), hope site admin reply this quickly as i'm having serious time to time disconnection issues
