I am on dd-wrt.v24-19342_NEWD-2_K2.6_big-nv64k. I am trying to setup a guest network. The config seems fine. I followed several tutorials, however it does not seem to broadcast the public network. None of my devices can see it even though it is set to broadcast.
I can get the 5G guest network to show up, but not 2.4 guest network. However the 5G network can't obtain ip addresses for wireless clients.
I would suggest following this guide, as the youtube one is dated now - which probably worked for the time it was published, and newer builds brought on different settings.
Does anyone have a link on how to go back to a factory firmware? I have to send mine back, it is too erratic. I tried the guide for the wndr3700, but that did not work for me as tftp would just disconnect.
To add to this, netgear firmware is a .chk file. I see no mention of .chk files in forums, but rather .img files.

It is the same method as you would use on a WNDR3300, cept you would use files for the WNDR4000:
What I really need is for someone to post their optimal wi-fi settings for both radios. Please be as detailed as possible. (and the ensuing debate and difference of opinions/results)
I'm borderline on switching back to stock. My 2.4 radio (wl0) is not performing up to snuff. I wasn't having any issues with stock, I just prefer DD-WRT.
Anyone do some thorough testing of different configurations??

Thanks in advance!
IMO - Something you may want to consider is posting someone's settings of optimal wi-fi may not really help you much, it can be very different per environment - what may work good for me in my home, may not work good for you in your home, different interference factors can affect the end result.. just my opinion. _________________ Wireless N Config | Linking Routers | DD-WRT Wiki | DD-WRT Builds | Peacock - Broadcom FAQ
The above link will also mention settings for the 5GHz Radio. wl-1 is a 5GHz a/n at 40MHz ONLY. The default "mixed mode" or "2.5GHz" "b/g" will NOT work!
Remember with dd-wrt: Newer is not better and the distos are generic so just because you have a choice in a drop down box does not mean it will work.
I don't have a 5GHz wireless N card to test if the radio truly is bad? So I disabled wl-1
Anyone knows when next build will be released?
Planning to install dd-wrt, but waiting for one more "bugfix"
Which bug are you talking about? I'm using build 19342 big with OTRW as a Wireless AP and print, scanner and media server with no issues with dd-wrt yet?
