Hello. I have a question. How to install cloudflare tunnel on tplink tl-wr740n v4 with ddwrt? I don't want to start the computer every time because of the tunnel.Thanks

Are the temps for my router within normal? Specifically WLAN0? I get random wifi drops for about 90 seconds or so with both wifi radios....

The guide to flash the DIR-890L appears to be dead. The link to the DD-WRT forums comes back with the post doesn't exist. Other posts refer to this post so I know it existed at some point. Does anyone know where this guide is?

Thanks!

Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r58568 std (10/15/24)

I have it set up with the WiFi connected to a T-Mobile Home Internet gateway at 192.168.12.1 (This address cannot be changed.)

The AC1450 is at 102.168.12.2 I have dd-wrt configured to repeat the WiFi from the T-Mobile gateway and bridge/route to its ethernet ports, a second WiFi AP, and a virtual interface dd-wrt_vap

The issue is nothing downstream of the AC1450 on any of its WiFi or ethernet interfaces gets IP addresses assigned by the T-Mobile gateway.

How do I fix it so client DHCP requests go through the AC1450 to the T-Mobile and responses make it through to the clients?

All my stuff is in the 192.168.12.xxx range so any device can easily access any other device, including a media server with DLNA.

I normally dont have issues with my network unless im actively changing settings. today when i was on a VC in discord i suddenly lost connection. i went to my task manager and the ip address changed to 168.250.###.###
i looked it up and it seems like it changes to that if your device cant retrieve the IP address from the router.

i tried to restart my router but that just made things worse. first it was just my desktop, then it was my laptop and all my other devices. i tried to reset the firmware but that didnt work. in the end i was able to get my devices connected locally, all my devices were displaying the correct 192.168.1.### ip but they couldnt connect to the internet. untill i can get the network fixed im using a 2011 era linksys router. can someone please help me?

hi

from the database i found out that unifi ap can be flashed.

https://dd-wrt.com/support/router-database/?model=Unifi%20AP_-#

my doubt - how does this setup work in a home environment.

i have Unifi UDM router and 3 Unifi APs connected to UDM.

i can flash one of the APs.

but then how should i set up?

what i want to achieve is - to bypass transparent dns proxy that my isp has.

https://support.smartdnsproxy.com/article/102-bypass-transparent-dns-proxy-with-a-dd-wrt-router

As the title says, is it possible to put comments into the "Custom Config" box(es) on the Wireless>Wireless Security tabs? If so, how? Thank you.

I have a problem with this revision of WRT54G. No matter what I do, I can never get more than about 150KBytes/s on this thing. Tried all sorts of settings in the Advanced Settings tab, tried setting it to conect at 54MBits only, tried setting the Rx and Tx antennas manually, tried shifting between different firmwares (mini_generic only, I read the DD-WRT wiki on WRT54GL), tried with the defaults only... nothing seems to work, I can never get passed 170, 180KBytes/s (about 2MBits/s in the web GUI bandwith meter).

Has anyone else encountered this problem? This is my second WRT54G that I'm flashing with DD-WRT. The first one has no issues whatsoever and it was an even older model (v2.x I believe). My wife uses that one to this day at work (they were sharing the AP with too many users, their office was at the end of the hall, the bandwidth was horrible, so I gave it to her and told her to tell the IT guy to set it up for them) with 3 of her colleagues, 0 problems regarding Wi-Fi speed. But this thing... I have no idea what the problem is.

At this point, I'm considering hardware damage/problems. How? I have no idea, but I've never had a problem like this where the Wi-Fi was "partially" working.

Oh, I remembered one more thing. Setting the Transmission Fixed Rate to 54MBits, not Auto (the default) does have an effect and the speed does increase (about 100KBytes/s), and that's how I get to about 170, 180KBytes/s (it's about 50, 60, 70KBytes/s when it's set on Auto), but that's about it.

Any help is appreciated.

I have had open VPN setup for a few years with surfshark but now for some reason I can no long connect with openvpn on the router. I dont see any reason why it wouldn't work as I check the info with surfshark and the login and server address seems correct. The status page doent show anything and there doset seem to be anything in the logs.

anyways I am trying to setup a different tunnel but the info on the surfshark website isn't matching with what I have available

This is the surfshark info.

Hello, installed DD-WRT firmware on TP-Link WR841N v9, I was going to use it to receive internet from another router on this router and split it to my devices. And so I configured Client Bridge (Routed) and created a virtual interface with the access point, the Internet works, devices connect, but the problem is that after some time (about 7-15 minutes, I did not measure exactly) devices disconnect from the network and can no longer connect to my access point, I do something wrong? I've turned off the protection (firewall and other items).

I tried to look for a solution on the internet, but English is not my main and it makes it difficult to find information. I would be grateful for the information.

So there's been a lot of development on the LN1301 because of the firesale that's been happening everywhere. I recently made the plunge as well, but I was having this issue where accessing the router via the Web GUI would cause desktop access to the WebGUI to always blow up. The crash usually happens 20-40 seconds after accessing the WebGUI.

What happens, and it usually happens after I hit "Apply changes" is that I get kicked into an empty page with a "No data received" error or something along those lines, saying that the IP address to the router GUI is no longer accessible.

After you get this crash, every time you try to access the router, you get the same error message, and the only way to access it again is to restart it.

The funny thing? The WebGUI is STILL accessible on a mobile browser, including Android Chrome itself. Why? I don't know.

Anyway, there have been numerous posts on the DD-WRT forums by veterans warning people not to use Chrome for DD-WRT. There's some prefetch fuckery that happens that screws with some of DD-WRT's commands.

They recommend installing Firefox ESR (Extended Service Release, aka an older version) or any of its forks and keeping a clean profile to access the DD-WRT page. This reduces the chances of any background extensions in your browser from interfering.

I have Pale Moon installed so I simply used that and had zero problems afterwards.

Oh, and by "Chrome", I'm using Ungoogled Chromium because it still supports manifestv2 (uBlock Origin).

Can anyone recommend a stable build of DDWRT for a Netgear r7800 (preferably a stable build within the past two years)? I'm currently running DD-WRT v3.0-r58389 std (09/20/24) but both the 2.4 and 5 ghz WiFi have been very unstable lately dropping for a good 3-5 minutes at a time. I'm thinking I need to start from scratch and go back to stock firmware, then reflash DDWRT back onto the router.

Running a Netgear Nighthawk R6700v3 that I got 3 years ago. Put DD-WRT on it immediately and had both 2.4GHz and 5 GHz SSIDs which have worked without issue for years.

Randomly the other night, the 5GHz just stopped showing up on every device. I've not messed with any settings in ages and only need to reboot it every 6 months or so.

Anyway I had to put everything on the 802.11g and since then I've rebooted, fiddled with the 5 GHz settings, and upgraded the firmware, and reset the firmware settings & set everything up again. The 802.11n just isn't showing up. Even using a wifi analyzation program on my phone it's not picking anything up.

Any ideas what might be happening? Is it possible this is a hardware fault on just the 5 GHz radio?

EDIT: Never quite figured it out, switched back to an older router that runs OpenWRT, bye guys :(

How can I failover to Android tethering on usb0 when wlan1 station link loses connection, and failback when connectivity is restored? Individually Android tethering works great, wlan1 station works great. I don't have a clue the next step to combine them in a way that doesn't blow through the tether data limit. The router is a Netgear WNDR3700v4 Atheros AR9344 on latest DD-WRT beta, usb tethered to a Note20 Ultra stock rom unrooted.

I have many devices, my office wifi has a captive portal. I’m only allowed 2 devices.

Can I use my router with dd-wrt to login to the portal and from there give wifi to all my devices?

Hi,

Does anyone know if this router work good with dd-wrt? I was thinking about buy one.

I finally got around to installing DD WRT on a linksys 4300 and had some issues with it disconnecting on a few of my devices. Decided to reconnect my old ASUS router I was using before messing with the linksys and it immediately said there was a DHCP error from the modem. I figured there was an issue with the router so I connected my ISP provided router (Eero 6+) and was getting no connection either. The last thing I tried was connecting directly to my pc and it connected fine. Below are a few troubleshooting steps I tried.

1. Reset my asus router to factory settings and reloaded firmware.
2. Reboot modem
3. Swap out cable (even though it connected to pc)
4. Installed factory firmware to linksys router (experienced no internet connection afterwards)
5. Reinstalled DD WRT to linksys (connection is back up)

I'm pretty much at a loss here now. I have verified that each router is set up to use auto DHCP so not sure why they aren't connecting.

I'm easily overwhelmed by networking, so bear with me.
I picked up one of those $15 Linksys MX4300s and installed DD-WRT on it. Currently I have the MX4300's WAN port plugged into a dumb switch which is plugged into my primary FIOS Quantum router. The MX is configured as an access point per this guide and it works; I can connect wirelessly to the MX and access the internet and the LAN from the primary router. The only snag is that transfer speeds to other devices on the LAN are abysmal.
When connected via WiFi to the primary router, it takes around 20 seconds to transfer a 1.4GB file across the LAN. When connected to the MX4300 it takes around 10 minutes.
I don't think it's the cable between the MX and the switch, but I'm not sure how to rule it out. If it's a configuration issue I have absolutely no idea.

Networking idiot here, I've been trying to figure it out alone but there seems to be so much contradictory information that I'm more confused now than I was before.

I would like to use my secondary DD-WRT router (MX4300) purely for a NordVPN connection, so that any devices that connect to its wi-fi will be using the VPN. I don't need these devices to be able to access any other devices on my primary network.
I have my primary Synology router DHCP use addresses from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.244. The DD-WRT device has a static address of 192.168.1.246.

Is it correct to have the DD-WRT DHCP use addresses like 192.168.3.2 onwards? Would that be crazy or would it work? I also have the gateway on the DD-WRT device set to 192.168.1.1, is this just going to send clients to the Synology DHCP?

I'd be grateful for any help!

I am trying to use an old Asus RT-N16 as a wifi network for my Christmas lights. The WAN port no longer works on the router, and hasn't for years, but the wifi still works fine as well as the 4 LAN ports. In years past, I didn't need anything on the network to connect to the outside world, so I just didn't worry about it having an outside internet connection. This year I would like to have my main controller have access to the internet so I can use other addons for remote access, and streaming of music.

I know it is possible to use a LAN port as WAN, because I did it a few years ago with using Tomato firmware in its GUI. I would prefer to not have to change the router up too much because all of the many controllers connect with no issue, and I would also have to change all of the IP addresses in the programming of the lights.

Why does my Netgear R7800 router with DD-WRT v3.0-r51154 std (01/03/23) drop the 2.4 and 5ghz WiFi whenever I do a Speedtest at speedtest.net? It also drops wifi randomly it seems with moderate traffic. Ive toyed with the advanced WiFi settings (i.e. firmware type, beamforming, beacon interval, etc) but seems to be an overhead performance issue. I do notice in SysLog a number of these... DD-WRT kern.warn kernel: [ 435.424792] DROP IN=eth0

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Just thought I'd let you know, I guess in case you didn't already know, but your SSL certs for your domains are expired, and with the same thing happening to download.dd-wrt.com earlier this year, and multiple other reports from past years, it's safe to assume that your script that is running the Let's Encrypt for your website is broken somewhere and it's also not notifying your web devs when it happens. In the past someone posted that it's not a matter of the script being broken, it's a matter of the web devs not checking their email. Well, regardless of how you view the problem, it hasn't been fixed, and I'm conducting some research and can't access what I need without switching browsers. Maybe someone will see this and fix it.

SOLVED: dd-wrt purchased a new domain-wide cert but they did not renew the HSTS policy. As u/Ok-Entrepreneur8940 pointed out, on Chrome Desktop (unsure for mobile) go to chrome://net-internals/#hsts and delete the policy for *.dd-wrt.com.
If you do not use Chrome, then find your browser internal tools used for web devs, specifically the HSTS tool, to delete a cached HSTS policy. This may mean you have to enable Dev Tools first (F12 and Enable on Edge). Thanks u/Ok-Entrepreneur8940!

My Explanation of HSTS:

As DD-WRT admins should be aware of, HSTS caching unintentionally (or intentionally) prevents SSL hijacking by forcing the browser to wait the max-age before downloading the new cert or new policy. The following typical warning is given when enabling HSTS on a SSL cert provider:

"If you remove HTTPS before disabling HSTS your website will become inaccessible to visitors for up to the max-age (usually 6 months). Because disabling HTTPS on an HSTS enabled website can have these consequences, it is strongly suggest that you have a committed HTTPS service in place before enabling this feature.
Preload: Permit browsers to preload HSTS configuration automatically Caution: Preload can make a website without HTTPS support completely inaccessible."

I've been running DDWRT for 10+ yrs on 5 or 6 routers and never had a problem updating routers with it.

Have been trying to configure a Linksys e2500 for two weeks but keep running into timeout when APPLYing the configuration.

I'm running the mini version firmware and have taken all of the recommendations to move to a non-chromium browser with no extensions, incognito etc. Currently using Pale Moon browser. I'm out of ideas.

Still having the problem. Anyone have any thoughts on how I can get around this?

I'm looking for suggestions for devices and specifications I should consider for selecting a device to act as an access point to a web app running locally on a laptop that could fit into a backpack and provide decent range at a convention (think hotel). I would even consider non-supported devices if there's enough benefit, it's been a long time since I've run DD-WRT, but I remember it being great with all the extra configuration options

Lobbing this out there without a lot of hope, as it seems like nobody is active here anymore...

I see so many people asking how we can find out which devices on our home networks are using up all the monthly internet data allowance. But I don't see a lot of answers.

What are our current options? I have tried YAMon so many which ways and run into a brick wall at the end of the process each time, both automatic install scripts and manually walking through every step.

It just seems like this entire endeavor has been abandoned long ago... But that makes me wonder: is it already built-in to DD-WRT somehow and I'm missing it? I see Status > WAN (for a running monthly total) and Status > LAN (which might be close to what I'm looking for, but I have no idea what the columns are for) and Status > Bandwidth (for comparing interfaces) but I'm not sure that these are giving me what so many people are trying to find.

Why is this so difficult? What are our options?

Well it's all in a subject...

At the moment I have one router with multiple subnets to separate some devices. Some subnets can communicate with each other and some cannot, which I achieved using firewall rules for bridges.

Now, I want to add a second router that should extend all my subnets to a new room.

Is this possible?

Edit: Especially, for some subnets I want to use Lan-Ports of the second router.
