I've been researching this pretty extensively over the past few days, but nothing so far has worked.
background: since I can think of, I've been on the wrt-54g linksys routers, and then on the buffalo dd-wrt router. Recently I switched to the Netgear WNDR3800.
Issues:
At first I was fine out of the box, everything set up all nice and working. Then about a week later I noticed that my 2.4ghz channel had dropped completely. This wasn't the biggest deal, as only my phone used that signal, and everything else I had used the 5g channel. however, being who I am, I couldn't let it go so i tried to fix it. I was currently on the 1.0.0.40 firmware, tried downgrading, 30-30-30 resets, nothing worked.
So i load up the DD-WRT brainslayer that I read about. I'm on r18777 right now. Nothing is fixed! The problem's i'm still getting are:
1) No 2.4ghz channel. Even though the router says it's running, my laptop/phone can't see it. Even running in Mixed as opposed to NG, i get nothing.
2) No 40mhz (Turbo) Channel width. I only get Full (20mhz). This is odd, right? As such, I find my wireless surfing really slow. I have my encryption set to WPA2 Personal AES, which is what it should be, right?
any advice would be helpful. if you need more info, let me know and i shall provide!
Hi i had the same problem with the Router TP-Link 1043ND... I did the upgrade tão DD-WRT 19519 And the problem was solved...
when i flashed from netgear firmware, i used factor and not the factory_NA img... i may try and start all over with that.
I upgraded to 19519 and nothing is different witht he results.
