OK this is getting ridiculous. I have to reset ath0 way too many times. The band-aid cron job doesn't always work. Is anyone from DD-WRT developers going to try and fix the fw for this unit? PLease? I would hate to go back to stock. Which dual band router is meant for DD-wrt? E3000? Oh well anyone else out there owning a wndr3700V2 please share your thoughts.

It would help to explain the problem.. instead of just "i have to constantly reset ath0", as some say, WNDR3700v2 is an embarrassment to Netgear, their WNDR3700v1 is much better which I do have and can speak for it but I don't have a v2 (or v3).

The problem is the only stable fw (r17201) for this unit and also v1s have issues where 2.4ghz radio will die after so long. You didn't know that. It's posted all over this forum. There is a fix to run a cron job to tail a log and restart radio once it fails. I'm asking for a fix for this. I guess you're not aware of this issue. Just don't blame Netgear and call it junk as a way to say this isn't fixable.

Actually im well aware of the issues.... half of them are from improper flashes or waiting 10 seconds after flashing then brick it.. and dying radio units are faulty units as it happens to those same units on stock firmware as well. Most do not have the issue.
