Chromecast has been with me and my 1900AC for a week, thanks to some helpful user.
I even found a freaking dd-wrt wiki on the subject,
iptables -I FORWARD --destination 8.8.8.8 -j REJECT
iptables -I FORWARD --destination 8.8.4.4 -j REJECT.
So here's my beef:
It didn't say to use the wireless network mode of "mixed", but now that I do,
DFS channels are gone.
All gone.
Chromecast-2 is supposed to use 802.11ac, so I should not have to use "Mixed".
Any chance someone way up high also has chromecast-2 and might, um, know what's going on with 802.11ac?
Right now the Marvell driver does not support WDS. _________________ Tutorial for flashing WRT series WRT Installation,Upgrade & Basic Setup–Cliff Notes

I use latest BS firmware, the big advantage over the Kong f/w is that it allows to set any 5ghz channel, and it is really works, yes!
But when I change width to 80 after all, then 5ghz disappeared and I am able to connect only to 2.4 ghz. And second thing - web gui stopped to work too, I can connect only by telnet
So how to return to width 20 on 5ghz using telnet? I hope web gui will back to work itself after it. I have to rollback only last change, when I set 80 instead 20, but only telnet works

I was running a build from FEB and was getting 80-90mbs speeds on my wifi, this latest build I'm getting in the 30's.
Is there something I need to activate or tweak?
WRT1900AC .v2
Brainslayer builds are with the new driver and for what ever reason is slower. Kong's builds have better performance with the new driver. Would suggest trying Kong's builds.
Kong's builds are here in case you do not know:
This might be totally unrelated, so apologies in advance:
casting my phone using the 1900AC network was working well, so well that I decided to try casting a DLNA program (ginkgo DLNA).
It worked, but then it would drop the connection, or stutter.
The wifi icon on the phone showed constant transmissions and receptions.
I downloaded a cast-aware DLNA app that used its own casting code, and the icon stopped contantly transmitting and receiving, and everything seemed fine. No dropouts, etc.
But it's creepy having to use a special app for something the phone already does;
Was I overloading the router, too many collisions or something, or is it just not done (casting something without the app knowing it's being casted?)
been having an issue with my router repeatedly restarting after connecting a usb harddrive that is constantly being written to from an security camera. Anyone else having an issue with router crashes when writing large or constant amounts of data?
I use yamon for monitoring and the files write to an external USB drive. My DNSMasq and cron crash pretty constantly. Normally I use cron to test DNS and restart DNSmasq if it fails - but when cron also dies, it's a problem. (cron dies about 1x/week now)

I run yamon3 on a wrt1900ac v1 with Kong's 29300 firmware. I never have any issues, router just runs. Up for weeks at a time, In fact only time it is down is to upgrade firmware.
I use a USB drive that is formatted as ext4. hopefully you are not using a windows formatted USB drive, as that can cause problems.
It's been a couple months since i've tried a release, the last time, there was major ping/latency issues, even when pinging the router.
Is this still the case? or has this been addressed now?
Yes, this is still the case. However, the Marvell wireless driver developer is now discussing these latencies with users on the wireless driver issues list, and says that he will fix them "in the next release".

So there's hope for the future.
Ah, bummer! guess I'll be holding off for a bit longer.

I just flashed the most recent build from Kong, when I look in wireless advanced settings it shows 5ghz tx power is 30, but under status wireless it shows 23. Which is accurate?

The latter. 30 is the max possible value, whereas 23 is the actual value capped by region and band.
I'm on build DD-WRT v3.0-r29300M kongmv (03/25/16) with the 1900acs, and I having problems with high latency and packet loss randomly , which I seem to get when I enable openvpn it happens on this build and a build I used before few months ago that's why i went back to stock for awhile with no problems. anyone else have problems like this? i run ping plotter and can see it every once in awhile and I'll even loose connection briefly. thanks.
