Status: Unusable

Errors: All wireless and ethernet disconnects when any wireless device attempts to make a new connection. Router reboots every few minutes.
Installed fresh from stock GUI with 30/30/30 reset before and after install.
I did not experience these problems on any of the previous builds that I have tried such as r33005, r32597, or 32170 to name a few. I have had the 5GHz act a little wonky after changing wireless settings on previous builds, but a quick reboot usually fixed that. With this build, it became unusable as soon as I changed the SSIDs to ones that my devices recognize and they started trying to connect. I had a devil of a time just trying to change the SSIDs to something random so devices would stop trying to connect and I could get a stable ethernet connection. Once I was able to get devices to stop trying to connect, the wired connection was usable again. At this point, I decided to just go back to a previous build. I will try again with the next release.
U r at the wrong forum and here is the right one for Marvell: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=58
You can damage your router using 30/30/30 reset designed for very old routers and builds.
Apparently I have a few misunderstandings. I get that I posted under the wrong category (my apologies for that), but everything I have read said that the 30/30/30 should only not be used on EA series routers or the WRT54GS. I appreciate the information that you are giving me and thank you for it, I just wish this sort of information was a bit more easily accessible. I am not exactly new to dd-wrt, but I wouldn't say I am an expert by any means (clearly). So, having solid and recent information is much more helpful than much of the dated info on the site.
It'd be nice if we could be warned when keeping the old settings will cause a problem but no, apparently that would interrupt the real work.
The warning has been in effect for ages: "don't import old settings". It doesn't get any simpler than that. And how are the devs supposed to test if keeping old settings will cause problems or not? Try every possible combination of settings on every router DD-WRT runs on, for all eternity? Are you volunteering for that? (;
The devs MUST know when they change something that means the settings will be different even when you type in the same settings.
There's lots that could be done to make it easier to re-enter the settings too, just making the saved settings file human readable instead of a binary dump of the settings memory would help massively.

Kernel 3.18 is still on C7 1750. I just received an alert from US-CERT with MANY Linux Kernel moderate to serious. Are ddwrt users of K3.18 guaranteed newer kernel problems don't apply?

Sending power of the Router cannot be adjusted anymore!!!
I was able to adjust the power on the 2.4GHz network, from 23dBm, down to 22dBm. That router has a max dBm on the 2.4GHz network of 23dBm, and 30dBm on the 5GHz network. I don't currently use the 5GHz network, so I did not test it. _________________ Before asking a question on the forums, update dd-wrt: Where do I download firmware? I suggest reading it all.

Couldn't revert to a previous firmware through the web interface. The file is not loaded.
Done via command line.
Hello IgorZ,
I have the same router and dd-wrt version with you and the same problem.
Can you please guide me how to revert to previous firmware via command line interface?
wget did not work for me in telnet session. I think this was not enough space to store the firmware
