My choice for the older 14929 was intentional: for Broadcom based routers it's still considered to be the best, so I figured that it's probably a good choice for the Atheros based WRT160NL as well. Newer is not always better....
Always the latest for me unless there are show stopper bugs, currently on the latest 19519 with no problems since hard reset _________________ TPLINK TL-WR2543ND (5GHz)

Seems to work effectively fine.
BUT, I see a major change with USB storage support :
With build 16124, USB storage is well mounted on /mnt
With those recent builds, storage is mounted on /tmp/mnt/sda_part1 !??
Do you have more information about this change? Is it possible to keep the disk mount point /mnt (like it is defined in services/usb, and the disk info says "mounted on /mnt", strange!)

IIRC these usb problems are known amongst the devs, and it looks like they tried to fix the usb system from 19342 to 19519, but as you have seen for yourself, its not fixed, and this isn't the first i read of the problem using 18xxx thru 19519.
Also for the record, 16214 was one of the best builds i use for dd-wrt Atheros units, but only thing i didn't like in it is the QoS system didn't work properly, but since then, i use my own bandwidth shaping scripts so it really doesn't matter to me now. _________________ Wireless N Config | Linking Routers | DD-WRT Wiki | DD-WRT Builds | Peacock - Broadcom FAQ
Hi buddee, thank you to confirm that's a build problem (and that I'm not crazy )
I hope dd-team will have some time to correct this major issue. For now, I'm going to try to rebuild a 16214 and just change the kernel to 3.4.x (in order to avoid breachs, bugs, and performance of the 2.6.x kernel)
I hope my skills with toolchains will be enough to do this...
It's been a year since I set up that device, so I'm not sure whether I checked if the TX-power increase was really executed by the device.
In a couple of weeks I'll visit the place where is. Then I'll check it and let you know (if I don't forget....).
haha thanks, yea my memory is very much like that, all my promises come with the same bracketed reply as yours _________________ TPLINK TL-WR2543ND (5GHz)
