Detailed review
I bought the router based on the reviews from this website and I was disappointed. Experienced WAN port bug with stock firmware so I flashed to DD-WRT. The wifi signal using the DD-WRT firmware would drop after a few hours of use and I wasn't able to use VPN. This is not a must have router.

Wondering what version you have. Newer version cannot be flashed to DD-WRT without downgrading to a German boot bin. I don't think new ones are really supported with DD-WRT anymore

I had ver 1.9. I did do the German boot bin. DD-WRT users' forum was very informative.

This review has no reason to exist and it should be removed, the problem is the firmware that you used, not the firmare. Who uses dd-wrt??? openwrt is the way to go.
