First of all I loaded Kong DD-WRT build 32170 on my r7000 and so far other than a few glitches I love it. I was able to finally figure out the guest wifi. It wouldn't work right until( kept telling my inncorrect password), I entered this command below in the firewall.
# Enable NAT on the WAN port to correct a bug in builds over 17000
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o `get_wanface` -j SNAT --to `nvram get wan_ipaddr`
But a lot of times I make a change in the router I have to reboot to get it to respond to the iptables I have in the firewall. Is there a setting I can set to keep this from happening? Also there have been some times when setting a bunch of settings to get everything configured like I like it, the router would just become unresponsive and I have to reboot it all together just to get it to respond again. It will not even let me ping the router when this happens. Any ideas?? I did reset to factory defaults before configuring.
