20 euro router everything works. 200 euro router not working. Absurd that the firmware is not developed to give support! I wanted a superior performance router and you can't use the mesh network .... absurd! down down down for Linksys and mwlwifi!

Adding that this is not just a WRT3200ACM issue but also WRT32X, which would make sense given nearly the same hardware. It's a shame Marvel doesn't support mwlwifi with this fix, IoT fixes, and MU-MIMO this would be the best router on the market.

This is why I'm ditching my two WRT3200ACMs and replacing them with Netgear Nighthawk X4S routers based on the Atheros chipset. The WMM issues with ESP chips are causing me numerous problems and there has been no progress on this issue and not a peep out of the developer on GitHub for almost a year. I'm done with Linksys and their abandoning the closed-source drivers.

The router is great. Might have considered buying some nice AP's to complement.

Agree.If we rip of the wireless card ,this thing is great.

Maybe you haven't tried applying OpenWRT! Unsecured Mesh and Ad-Hoc! A router that costs 30 euros works much better!

Unfortunately there is no perfect OpenWrt router. Even the R7800 you mention has performance problems because so much relies on the NSS cores in the stock firmware and they don't work right in OpenWrt. I'd say the WRT3200ACM/WRT32X is the best router outside of Wi-Fi. It's a shame the driver support is dead. I wouldn't buy this product again but don't know where else to turn there is nothing really better.

Along the lines of @mikysal78’s original issue, I was able to implement a WDS-based mesh network yesterday with zero issues using three Atheros-based routers.

@mikysal78, that may be a route to consider. Implementation is simple.

Yes! with tp-link routers that cost 30 or 40 euros you make mesh or ad-hoc without problems. The WRT3200ACM which on the Amazon costs 195 euros does not work! The anger is that an expensive router does not work as it should, a cheap one is fine.

Few years later, and still no available fix for that device?
