Dd-wrt does not support the 5ghz card on the archer c7 hardware version v1.1. For old versions of dd-wrt after installing dd-wrt you must turn off the router and remove the 5ghz card or the router will brick. The 5Ghz radio works fine in hardware version 2 of this router. It is possible to remove the 5Ghz card from an old broken laptop and install it in the hardware version 1 of this device.

Build 33772 from here https://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/other-downloads?path=betas%2F2017%2F11-16-2017-r33772%2Ftplink_archer-c7-v2%2F] works fine on this router.
