No Internet After Installing Dd Wrt On Router

Read your favorite flavor of open source firmware before buying but I'm running native firmware and a second DD-WRT build as well while I'm testing VPN configurations. I've made tons of mistakes along the way but the ability of this device to safeguard a good firmware configuration on the second partition gives you a good chance to recover when learning and experiencing any issues. Nothing is fail proof but I'm pretty clumsy and it's been great to work with. I run another access point wirelessly to it and the dedicated back channel has been just as close as wireless can be to gigabit copper line. Haven't adjusted a full DD-WRT build to fully utilize all the features available to it yet but the native Linksys firmware has been great as a standard fallback configuration. I'm sure it will continue to remain a robust device for our home office/learning needs.

I got this dream machine to replace a DD-WRT router once I realized that DD-WRT doesn't allow for gigabit WAN speeds. I also wanted better WiFi coverage upstairs. I bought a second nanoHD access point (not received yet) to install on the ceiling upstairs. It should seamlessly add to my UniFi setup and give me 5GHz speeds throughout the house. Whenever WiFi 6 becomes more widely available and I start getting client devices that support it, I expect Ubiquiti to sell WiFi 6 access points that I can then use with this dream machine. Be warned, though: the UniFi software is still buggy, with many features labeled beta. I had trouble with the beta feature High Performance Devices, as my Sunpower monitor in the garage could not establish a link because it was forced to use 5GHz by the dream machine. Once I turned that feature off, it connected with 2.4Ghz and has worked perfectly since.

Well, look no further! Ive been using this beast for about three weeks and it has yet to disappoint. Plugged in, turned on, flashed to DD-WRT, and have enjoyed it ever since. If you like to tinker and prefer a thicc router, this is a solid choice.

Before installing this, I was getting internet in the room that the old router was and not in the other rooms. We yelled at our internet provider a couple a times until one of them recommended we upgrade our router. Orbi mesh was within our budget. We liked the reviews we read. My wife can now watch her dateline shows in bed once again. (I hope shes not preparing for something!) Our kids can stream their shows easily. So far we have about 10 devices connected and we havent experienced any lag at all. It also works while we are in the yard. I highly recommend this.

After installing this router/modem combo, I have seen a significant boost in my coverage and quality.

After replacing my wifi router with this AP the speed of the internet went up significantly. I was amazed.

Love this router. Its really fast. Much faster then my old wrt 1900acs. I use it in a small apartment so its overkill on the wifi. However, that Arm 1.8GHz cpu tears throughout the complex math required to run a VPN service, so didn't care about the wifi as much. But that also is blazing fast. If you want total control of what this router can offer, I recommend dd-wrt firmware. All in all it was worth the money in my opinion. Especially for running a VPN.

No cons. it works great for my cable internet and with the nighthawk router

The best money spent! I had the router from the company that gives me internet but it was very limited! The signal was constantly dropping! After having my new router this doesn't happen anymore! Excellent product!

After many calls with our internet provider, we decided to give a new router a try. This was the best decision we made and are extremely happy with this router as it significantly reduced stress that was caused by family members having to "schedule" internet times for work, school and play. Recommended to a friend who is happy with their purchase as well.
