The bolts of the fan are on the other side. To remove them you have to remove the heat sinks. They are glued to the components below with heat conducting tape. You have to be very careful and start with the heat sink on the wifi card. I used a flat screwdriver and gently removed it. Then you have to remove the second heat sink the same way starting from the other side (the side that is opposite to the WiFi card). I replaced the fan with 50x50x10mm. I  made some cuts in the sink to remove some of the ribs. I used a bigger fan, because it is a lot quieter and has a lot more CFM.

Good luck.

When the Shelby version will be published

Thanks

Is dd-wrt ready for daily usage on 1900ac v1 or are there any downsides?!

Did you check the permissions (should be 644 [rw-r--r--])

• ls -l /etc/config/wireless

or try restarting network

• /etc/init.d/network restart  OR

• /etc/init.d/network stop ; /etc/init.d/network start

Normally, you can copy over files from the /rom directory, however since wifi is disabled by default, no config exists there.  Output of my wireless config with personal info removed

• You'll need to disable mac filtering, otherwise you won't be able to connect

root@OpenWrt:~# ls -l /etc/config/wireless

I did restart the network but still there is no wireless in the network tab. However, I guess the problem is going to get solved when I am going to flash it with the final image as I am at the moment still of rc3.

Unless you're willing to contribute to bug reporting, it's recommended to stay on RC3... out of curiosity, why were you editing your wireless config from the cli?  Everything is available from the Web GUI for wireless... work smarter, not harder =]

There are certain Web GUI features that should be configured from the cli (such as openvpn), however wireless isn't one of them.

dd-wrt uses the same wifi driver as CC 15.05 so wifi is the same.

Everything works, VPN via L2TP too, I'm stil trying to get VLAN(s) up.

BTW

this works also

I set up my wifi to 40 Mhz. Maybe that was not such a smart thing to do any way.

That option is easily managed from the Web GUI

push

What about  "option noscan '1' " ? It's not possible to edit from GUI.

Are you sure ? If you about HT40, it doesn't help. But  "option noscan '1' " is not available on GUI.

I just had to...

Hi Which of the two files need to sew? dd-wrt

(Last edited by Armik on 14 Oct 2015, 12:15)

Kernel 4.3 << Wow that's cutting edge

Nice

I stand corrected =]

Though not committed yet, we now have all 8 queues for receiving network packets working in mvneta, network buffer manager due very soon (a few days from now) with its corresponding entries as well as all the other offload engines defined in armada-xp-linksys dts and network parser and classifier still in the works. That's on the wired part. Still no word from Marvell on a fresh revision of mwlwifi, though Kaloz is constantly pushing them (latest commit is already 2 months old).

First, get the unit running linksys firmware.

This img file you flash from the linksys firmware GUI.
factory-to-ddwrt.img

This bin file is for upgrading/downgrading DD-WRT, flash this from the DD-WRT firmware GUI.
ddwrt-linksys-wrt1900ac-webflash.bin

The fliping process (factory-to-ddwrt ddwrt-to-factory) will work if you have not installed DD-WRT and then upgraded to a different version of DD-WRT. It flips partitions every time a different DD-WRT firmware is installed.

It's recommended when dealing with the wrt1900ac is to always keep partition 1 as Linksys OEM. To do this if you are running DD-WRT is to flip back to the Linksys firmware and then install the DD-WRT version you want. Then DD-WRT firmware is installed in partition 2.

Happy fliping

Hi guys,

I've bought a wrt1900AC-V2 about 2 weeks ago and installed CC-final on it. It's currently my main internet router.

My home internet connection is a FTTH connection, symmetrical 100-100mbit, pppoe based. But the provider does not cap the upload speeds.
Currently i'm puzzling with the fact that after one or two days of uptime, the downloadspeeds (via wifi!) drops to about 20mbit, while upload stays "limitless" (>250mbit/sec)
Changing from wl0 to wl1 does not have any effect, performance stays bad until i reboot the device. it seems that the issue is wifi related, but due to a lack of wired laptops, i can't check the performance via the lan ports.

Anyone have any tips to debug and fix this issue?

[edit] just did some wgets on the router of larger bin files >/dev/zero and download from the internet is indeed still ~100mbit, confirming my idea the issue is wifi related.

Ask here https://github.com/kaloz/mwlwifi

@nitroshift
Do you have a git or mailing list that I can follow regarding this?

My issue seems to be identical to: https://github.com/kaloz/mwlwifi/issues/34
Same errors in the logs :-(

To bad there is not much going on there, seems that the developer is on holiday or something?

Ya.

But they have to deal with us dissecting their firmware.

VBG

@Lantis

#mvlinux on Freenode and kernel.org/net-next, search tag "mvneta". Also, the guys at free electrons are working on implementing hardware crypto module too.

@gufus & Armik

Please keep the forums here clean. DD-WRT has its own site / forum. Thanks.

We've been waiting for quite some time for a proper driver, but I highly doubt that it will happen anytime soon. I suggest that you return it, and get a ubiquiti router + access point and all your problems will vanish

PS: I'm not saying OpenWRT is shit, because it's not, it's just the driver that's creating so many problems..
