I have two questions for dd-wrt.
1.when wifi bridge, IS Mac adress change all?
first 50-aa-bb → 52-aa-bb
2.Is the net speed below the original?
ON Originalfiam, it is + 2 at the beginning of all addresses when wifi bridge, so when I contact support to see if it is a breakdown, it seems normal operation

We apologize for delaying your connection.
Our routers and repeaters adopt relay mode called proxy mode when relaying.
In proxy mode, the device connected to the repeater (or the relay router) adds to the normal MAC address
Since the virtual MAC address is acquired and communication is carried out, there is no problem in that state.
Thank you.
SO DD-WRT ON C9,
I tried asking if something went wrong with the internet connection
My archer c9 reboot randomly when i add my old tp link wrd 841nd runing dd-wrt to a wds connection is that normal? i used DD-WRT v3.0-r33345 std (09/11/17) on archer c9. Any help?
I was looking forward to patching the WPA2 vulnerability, unfortunately, I too am experiencing problems with enabling OPEN VPN via services tab.
I had to go back to DD-WRT v3.0-r30681 std (09/22/16), after upgrading to 10-25-2017-r33607 on my Archer C9 v1, I experienced double CPU usage when using OpenVPN under the services tab. Additionally, on re-start, OpenVPN wouldn't connect either if it was left enabled prior to re-boot. Over time the CPU usage raised to 75% (I had the router set to 600 mhz from 1 ghz.)
If I toggled it off and on again, it would work, but eventually started disconnecting me entirely, it wouldn't re-establish connection with the VPN.
I don't know what build others are using prior or after v3.0-r30681 std (09/22/16) that work with OpenVPN, but surely, none of them would have the patch for the vulnerability. Not sure what I can do, I have no logs.
I think it said it was hung up on int_connection or something, I could list the router's OpenVPN settings for encryption etc when I get some more time. I should note, in previous use cases with the 09/22/16 build, my OpenVPN only contributed to about 5% (total of about 5-7% in conditions described) increase in CPU usage when utilizing my entire download speed through multiple devices.

Hey guys,
sorry if i'm in the wrong thread, fairly new to the site. I am wanting to put ddwrt on my archer c9 ac1900 v1, but it is not listed in the router database (that I could find), and I'm having trouble finding out if it is stable on this router yet. I have read through and searched, and it seems like it is still a work in progress. Is this correct, or can anyone point me in the right direction if I'm in the wrong place?
Thanks!
Awesome! Thanks for the link. I mainly want to use my PIA VPN at the router instead of using the app on individual devices. From reading the forum posts, open vpn seems unstable and has issues. Is there a stable build for openvpn, or would you recommend holding off on installing dd wrt for now?
Thanks!

Not aware of any real issues with OpenVPN client (except for PBR and SFE not working together). I am using it (but with IP Vanish) and have no problems with it at all. Works without issue
I have heard good things about PIA too. _________________ Router Model: Netgear R8000

I installed dd-wrt on my Archer C9 awhile back (Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r33342 std 09/09/17) and it's been running very nicely (HUGE improvement over TLink's software). I'm curious to get some feedback about applying firmware upgrades. How often do folks recommend upgrading the firmware? In the FAQ, I saw recommendation to not upgrade if things are working and there are no new features you are needing. I've had trouble finding release notes to see what new features have been added. I've also not found any central place to monitor any security updates I should take note about.
One other question I have about upgrading the firmware regards the recommendation to restore defaults before upgrading and not using a config backup to reset settings. Really? I have a lot of assigned ips and port-forwarding settings so it's quite a bit of work to redo all of these manually for each upgrade. Do folks really find resetting defaults important during upgrade?

Hello!
This is C8 V2, not C9, but I have the same problem:
( https://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=988029#988029 )
So erased mtd3, and now running CFE for V1 instead of CFE for V2, so all the blue LED-s ON, but the UART is still working.
Anyone can send me a "recovery pack": mtd3, and cfe or a full dump?

Are you saying this problem is resolved with the newest build? Are you using C9 V1?? I don't know how else you could come to this conclusion, a few others posted about the same problem, so far I haven't heard any solutions.

You are correct. This was not on a C9. Got confused what post I was in. Sorry for confusion. _________________ Router Model: Netgear R8000
