LAN Ports Not Working

Hi,

I recently flashed build 28000M on my R8000 and everything seems to be working ok except for a couple of things:

1. None of my LAN ports are working. I was assuming that when I plugged my NAS into LAN 1 it would appear on the DHCP client list without any further settings but it does not. If there is something I should be doing I would really appreciate some help.

2. I only see 2 wireless interfaces when I was expecting 3. Also, I have some bogus dd-wrt wireless network being created. Any ideas?

i am new to this and wanted to use dd-wrt for the access restrictions specifically so please go easy if I am asking basic questions or making silly mistakes.

 

Thanks.

my advise is stop with this

my advise is stop with this version of dd-wrt, i have tried this version on my R8000 and lost of problems

also not bale to make a guest network, users cab login in and very ubstable.

i now have the original firmware running, less options, but stable and everything works.

my understandung was that dd-wrt was a good solid product, but many flaws :(

That's a shame. The access

That's a shame. The access restrictions in dd-wrt look like just what I need.

Can you please tell me how I go back to the original firmware?

I wanted to use did-wrt

I wanted to use did-wrt because the parental controls on opendns are not good enough. I want to be able to set different time limits for different ip addresses. I will try to buy a new fritz box. I've got an old fritz box but it's starting to have a few issues. It's parental controls are excellent.

Reverting to the netgear firmware is not as easy as you suggest. I tried that and it didn't work. There is an article on here relating to a different router which uses the erase Linux command then using telnet to put the original firmware downloaded from the netgear site. That worked for me.
