Wrt 400n Wirless is a tangled mess

[pharaoh]

Not other way to describe it really.

Changing one minor setting in 2.4ghz can totally kill signal strength for 5ghz or the other way around. Strength varies hugely and merely applying hitting the apply button again can destroy the signal strength.

When you do mange to get things set and working the signal strength still has a habit of jumping for no good reason.

Sadly this has remained constant through all the wrt400n builds.

Example changing the 2.4ghz SSID can drop the 5ghz from 40% signal to 2%.

ensure to set rx and tx antenna chainmask to 1+2

I am sorry but that has no affect.

Any change in one wireless is linked to the the other.

Changing the rx and tx antenna chainmask to 1+2 doesn't correct that.

I set them ass suggested and then merely changed the name of 2.4ghz wireless..no other changes.

My 5ghz went from 48% to 19% and yet i had changed nothing in 5ghz.

This isn't guess work on our part many of us have tried every setting and most countries and the result is the same.

The wireless in the wrt400n firmware is messed up and some how crossed connected.

Before its mentioned.

Setting anything in wireless does causes a reboot as it should.

That shouldn't cause wireless signal changes as it does since nothing in the wireless setting have changed.

The wireless signals should reconnect and be at the same strength as before.

Unfortunately this is not the case and is clearly due to a bug or bugs.

the firmware is never cross connected. both radios are indepenend mounted on the board. if the antennas are connected together, its connected by hardware. the software does not connect any antennas here. in addition. changing a setting does not reboot the router, it does just reinitialize the radios. thats all.
