I added this to the wiki

I'm so sorry to say that I made a mistake. I deleted Lan and Wan in the Interface config page in Luci. Now I can't connect my wrt1900ac. It's there any way to fix it up? If any one can tell me the default wifi password that I can try.
Thank you!

Anyone know if it's possible to get bandwidthd (the bandwidth logger/monitor) installed on this? I tried different commands but I kept getting errors

This is the error I get when trying to update the packages

Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_a … ckages.gz.
wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Collected errors:
* opkg_download: Failed to download http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_a … ckages.gz, wget returned 1.

Specifically, the '12.09.1' and 'armadaxp' folders aren't found, I'm assuming it's because they don't have official support or whatever yet so they didn't make the folder. I don't really know how to change where it gets the packages from, and if that would even work or break the firmware because it would be incompatible. Anyways, I'd really appreciate some help if it's possible

Press and hold the reset button on the back until the power led flashes then release. This should reset the WRT1900AC to defaults.

To see the current wifi password use the refresh icon next to the password textbox to see it in text format.

There is no "12.09.1" directory in http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_adjustment. That's one. Secondly, bear in mind what gufus said: do NOT install any packages as yet, you'll end up with a (VERY expensive) door stop.

I'm sorry, it's not work. It looks like a reboot, not a reset. When I connected my computer with the Lan port, it still can not get an ip address. What should I do? Could you help me for this? Thank you!
BTW, what is the default wifi password for MAMBA_2G4? I want to try If I can connect with wifi.

All;....
I've found a way to manually switch the wrt1900ac from a trashed flash, to the secondary flash... It's done as follows:

1. Reset the router by holding the reset button in until the PWR light starts to flash {mine takes about 15 sec's}
2. Once the power light stops flashing, you can power off the router with the power switch.

3. Turn the power back on and the PWR light will light. As soon as any other light turns on, power off the router with the power switch.
4. Turn the power back on and the PWR light will light. As soon as any other light turns on, power off the router with the power switch.
5. Turn the power back on and the PWR light will light. As soon as any other light turns on, power off the router with the power switch.

6. Turn the power back on and the PWR light will light. This time just let the router power all the way up. It should now be on the alternate firmware.

Yes, you will power off three times.
Hope this works for you-all...

The reset button sets the WRT1900AC to defaults settings. As the LuCI warning mentions deleting the LAN interface can't be reversed.

That being said you mention wireless is still active. The default wireless password is "belkin123". If you can access that and the UI then reflash the firmware.

Thank you very much, that I can connet it with wifi. But I have a new question that how can I use pppoe connection? I changed wan configs to pppoe with username and password. But it's not working. The WAN port eth1 up and down again and again in system logs.  Thank you.

running into an issue where the wifi is 100% working but the status isn't being read in Luci:

Thanks

Its already listed in McWRT Issues.
Wireless Status Issue #11

same here, everything seems to be running great except the wifi status is not displayed. great work chadster!

o btw, what is the link for the MCwrt wiki?

Thanks for the advice, I just flashed the image from https://github.com/Chadster766/McWRT/releases
Configured the "WAN" interface (what's WAN6 for?) with my PPPoE details and everything seemed fine.
However, I have a gigabit connection and so far the WAN interface seems to connect only at 100mbps, reflected by Speedtest where I used to get 900mbps+ and now I only get 95mbps.
How do I make the WAN interface connect at 1000?

Login to the router via SSH using either Linux SSH or Putty with username root and your router's password.

Try the below commands:

ifconfig eth1 txqueuelen 1000
ifconfig eth0 txqueuelen 1000

Thanks for the answer! Should I reboot or it should work straight away?

LE: It works right away.. if the rooter is rebooted I suppose the same procedure should be followed, right? Any way I could make it autorun at startup?

Yes there are a few startup scripts in /etc/init.d that the commands can be added to in the Start() function.

Please create a new issue for this so you will be notified when the fix is in a release and we can continue the discussion there.
