i am running the OpenWrt Chaos Calmer 15.05-rc2 version with Kernel version 3.18.14
Internet range and speed is great. The only problem I have is CONSTANT internet connection drops. My xbox will always have short periods of lag then get disconnected, only to be able to reconnect shortly after. My PC's will hang loading a website only to give me internet errors, but all I need to do is disconnect and reconnect to the wifi network. Same thing with my iPhones. The only thing I can think of is that I set the transmit power on both radios to 1000 mW and this could be stressing out the CPU causing it to crash? I dont know. Someone please help! Thanks!
This may be due to the iphones, so let's try something that might fix this problem.
Edit the /etc/dnsmasq.conf and add the following line > dhcp-option=6,8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4
/etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart
Reboot the router. < not required after dnsmasq restart, but to start fresh.
Now all the devices get google dns instead of asking the router to resolve host names to IP. You don't have to use google, but it's a good place to start. If this fixes the problem, and don't want to continue using google, then just replace 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 with the NS servers of your choice.
