well so far this is going very well:

even tx power output is working properly now. if only there was a way for these european routers to bypass eirp limits and use fcc limits insted. would get more output power then since europe is limited to 20dbm by law.

slybunda,

Can you check if DDNS updates work?

Thanks.

Solved - found on dd-wrt forum that ddns updates had been working since 17461 and direct reference that it works in 17798.

Woohoo! 

[slybunda]

yes ddns is working in this new build. im still very surprised at how fast the gui is responding. very big difference to before.

USB Service

Since deploying this router at home in May, first time I've activated USB service and have a small USB memory stick on. The Buffalo DD-WRT page shows it's not mounted but it is and I've created folders and have pixelserv running off the supposedly "unmounted" drive.

Open Vpn client did not work with 17798. I had to downgrade to 14998 back. Anyone with success?

I was able to connect with OpenVPN, but the server wasn't setting up routes for my clients any more, so while the OpenVPN connection was successful, checking whatismyip.com still didn't show my home ISP IP and I have been unable to ping anything on my home lan (including the router).

I'm using a TAP (bridged) setup with OpenVPN.  I found this post on the OpenVPN forums and I'm going to give it a shot when I get home:

My Nexus S android phone seems to be having issues with this new firmware version. Whenever the screen is off, it completely loses its connection to the network (so I get no message notification, no sip calls, etc). It only regains the connection when I turn the screen back on. 

Can anyone else with an android phone try this and confirm it for me? I am guessing it has to do with power saving mode. 

This is a major issue for me, so I am hoping there is a workaround or something. The transmit power seems to be better in this version, so I don't want to have to downgrade. 

Edit: And now internet completely cut out for all computers when I started downloading a large file. I think I am going to downgrade...

It sounds to me like you accidentally set your wifi sleep policy to "When screen turns off" to me. You can adjust this setting from Settings > Wireless and Networks > WiFi Settings > Menu key > Advanced > Wifi Sleep policy on your phone.

I have an OG Droid and it works fine with this update.
