I updated to the 27360 Mega version using samandiriel's article for guidance (thanks for that!).

* The ext3 kernel module doesn't appear to be installed. Not there in lsmod list and /lib/modules/3.10.80/etx3.ko isn't there (ext2.ko is though). This is preventing me from mounting an external hd with ext3 fs.

* The Wan MAC did not restore from the backup bin file. Just re-cloned from my PC and was fine but I wish that was saved/restored.

I'll try the Big version to see if that solves the ext3 issue unless someone has other suggestions. Otherwise I like the improvements to the interface and everything seems to be working smoothly.


Thanks, nice to get a compliment! Please keep me posted or comment on the post if you turn up more infonuggets that would be helpful to add to it.

Has anyone got Privoxy and Transparent mode working? I had it working in the past but some time between upgrading builds it seems to be broken, I have a topic about it here:

http://dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=284088

Running 26138M, recommended build and Privoxy works but doesn't appear to redirect all traffic on port 80 like its supposed to, manually specifying the proxy in a browser works and the config page shows up, just doesn't work transparently.

I can see its not working, because I'll do a check on domains and Privoxy will tell me what rules will be applied. The output doesn't match what happens on a client.

I have the 12/03/14 big 25544 build on my rt-n66u, and have had issues for several months with a ping "loss" to my cable modem, i had assumed for MONTHS now that it was a ping loss to my gateway, however just the other day i started pinging the modem itself and realized it also happened between my router/modem..

What is the best "suggested" build by others, i see a few saying the most recent breaks the 5ghz wireless speeds (prevents top speed).. I wanted to flash a new build in case THAT was the issue, but honestly i didn't see anyone reporting that issue with that build...

No, you can't. There is one for yours. ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2015/07-09-2015-r27506/broadcom_K3X/dd-wrt.v24-27506_NEWD-2_K3.x-big-RT-N66U.trx

No, DD-WRT is much slower than stock firmware (at least in respect to WAN to LAN transfer). K3.x builds are slower than K26 builds.

Generally, DD-WRT has more advanced functions than stock firmware, so people around here call DD-WRT a Cadillac, not a Porsche.

If you want speed, choose Asuswrt Merlin and if you want speed + range, choose John's fork of Asuswrt Merlin.

From 26866 to 27506

witch is the most stable build?

I'm not sure if i should go with the latest.

I would prefer the most stable. But if latest
has critical patches, then I would go with latest.

Please advise.

Youhave to choose the width first. The available channels is dependant of the width.

Thanks for your advice!

I'm replacing some old Buffalo G routers (WHR-g54s) with ASUS RT-N66U's. The old buffalos use DD-WRT and are interlinked using WDS.

Given I want to continue linking the routers with WDS, is DD-WRT still my best choice or will Merlin do the same job but with better throughput?
