Merry christmas dear members!
Currently I have DD-WRT v24-sp2 (05/27/13) mini - build 21676 running on the E1200 v2 but I can not set the wifi channel manually.
If channel width is set to 40mhz manual selection is not available at all. So this has been changed to 20mhz which makes it possible to choose a channel via the drop down menu, in theory at least.
No matter what channel I choose, saving and applying the changes has not effect, as the channel used is always channel 1, however the chosen hannel is being displayed - but not used-.
Another strange behaviour, which also affects wifi is if a connected client (no matter how many clients are connected) has multiple streams (>5) running no more clients can connect via wifi, and the connected ones do not receive any data until the number of streams drops.
Is ithere any recommended working firmware version for this router?
I just changed the firmware you have recommended. Unfortunatley the behaviour has not changed, no matter which channel is chosen, it always operates on channel 1. Also tried setting B-G-N Modes and 20/40Mhz, no matter what combination I tried, its always on channel 1 which by the way is pretty crowded.
