Hello !
Writing this message just to tell you that I encountered a weird problem using your version of dd-wrt. Don't know if the problem is dd-wrt related issue or WRN3500L specific though.
So, I was using the netgear firmware for a couple of days, wifi signal was great, we have a small appartment so even in the farest room, signal was quite strong (4/5 "windows" signal bars)
However, I wanted to try a more complete firmware so I've installed your firmware. I tested it on close range and was able to use the wifi for streaming content to my PS3 and everything. However, I didn't check the PC in the other room. I did this morning, and well, signal was 2/5 bars now, and we could barely use internet.
In dd-wrt it was showing quite poor signal quality for connected devices.At very close range (5 feet), signal quality was always under 50% (and that's using G-mode only, in N-G it was below 40%). In the farthest room, signal quality was between 3 and 6% and finally an iPod touch in the kitchen few feets away had around 10%. I tried using inSSider to determine if my channel was overused, but there's no strong signal in the appartment. Tried all channels, didn't change a thing. Tried other wifi modes and everything, but no luck.
I ended up flashing the original firmware again few minutes ago, and wifi strength is back to normal, everything works great. I'm kind of missing all the features of dd-wrt though, but well, I'd rather be able to use wifi around the appartment :S
That's it, don't know if it's a specific issue of if it affects other people, and if there's a work-around or different build of dd-wrt to fix this problem, I'd be glad to test them !
Sorry for the long message, thanks for your time :)
