Are you currently running DD-WRT on your 3800? If so, how is it working, and what build are you using?

Using DD-WRT v24-sp2 (04/01

Using DD-WRT v24-sp2 (04/01/13) std b21153, a lot of issues setting it up (it half bricked the router) but once that was sorted it's been up for a week with no apparent issues.

Sometimes when you apply settings the router drops out for a few seconds without warning, my guess is that it's restarting some services. A message informing users of this might have been nice rather than just "wait until the wireless lights come back on" method I seem to be getting.

21153 seems to handle nearly all the features the stock firmware handles. The WPS button only turns the radio on and off as far as I can see in the setup pages. 2.4 and 5.0ghz wireless both work just fine.

Same here half bricked after

Same here half bricked after flashing through multiple builds to see what feature differences were and if there is one with rflow enabled. was able to go back to stock .FW using TFTP now back to running Brainslayer 21223 without issues. Upgrading my other router now too.

^^Ta, didn't realize there

^^Ta, didn't realize there was a new build out. Installed without issue (using the webflash version).

Only other issue is that in the info page it says it's a Netgear WNDR3700 v2 and in network places it says it's a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH. Neither of these seem to impact any kind of functionality.
