Most common problems
- Router slowdown or even random disconnects with connections-intensive applications (P2P, etc ..)
- Unable to get DHCP address from WAN.
- Some ISPs have a MAC address registered for service on their end. Since these ISPs usually assign only one dynamic address at a time, you may need to release the IP assigned to the old router/computer to allow the DD-WRT router to get a new one. You have a few options:
- Clone the MAC address from the old router/computer, and leave it that way.
- Clone the MAC address from the old router/computer, click the DHCP Release button on the bottom of the Status->Router page. Then turn off the MAC cloning.
- Simply unplug and replug in the router and cable modem and plug them back in.
