Best version for wndr3700 v1

[jigglywiggly]

Hello all, I just heard of this firmware.
Now I want to do multi wan on my wndr3700 v1, is this possible with gargoyle? It's possible with openwrt on it, but if it can't I guess it's not the end of the world.

I have a few questions, I am on stock atm.
1. Is the gui good?
2. Is it very configurable like dd-wrt via the GUI?
3. Is the wireless very reliable and strong?
4. can i configure the wireless strength? I like it at 50% since I sit very close to it and I don't want cancer :X
5. Does the wireless drop like this router sort of does in dd-wrt
6. Is the performance good?
7. What version should I use and what version should I avoid?


Also I have a 50 megabit connection with 15 megabit of upload.
When I torrent and not even use 20% of my connection, I get packet loss while playing games. Is this related to the limited processing power of the wndr3700? I don't notice this on my pfsense box on a slower connection.

Questions 1-6: Yes
Question 7: Use 1.5.2 (and you should upgrade to 1.5.3 when it is released). Avoid 1.4 versions since you have 5 Ghz wireless

Your router has a 680 Mhz cpu and should not be cpu limited.

Thanks, you also answered yes to question 5, so the wireless does stop broadcasting randomly? I thought openwrt didn't have that issue.

What are the changes for 1.53?

So I want to try openwrt, and I have my openwrt-ar71xx-generic-wndr3700-squashfs-factory-NA.img

and trying to upgrade in the gargoyle interface, but it seems to have hanged, what should I do...

If you have openwrt installed and want to upgrade to gargoyle, do you need the sysupgrade file:

1.5.3 will hopefully fix issues with atheros wireless, one of which might be described as "stops working randomly."

Other way around gargoyle -> openwrt

sysupgrade here, safe to upgrade from gargoyle NA?

Yes, if you wish to go from Gargoyle to OpenWRT, you will also need to use the sysupgrade files.

I did that, then my internet wasn't working for some reason...?
Then I went into recovery and flashed stock, and it still wasn't working then I rebooted my modem and it works, so yeah. I am trying openwrt atm. Thx
