You're not supposed to trust the router database page.
ftp://dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2/2013/07-24-2013-r22118/tplink_tl-wr741ndv1/ here's the most recent build.
anyone have any tips on getting ssh to work correctly on dd-wrt? everything else works fine just tired of using putty
additional info:
Router Model
TP-Link TL-WR741ND v1
Firmware Version
DD-WRT v24-sp2 (03/25/13) std - build 21061
Kernel Version
Linux 3.5.7 #6148 Mon Mar 25 08:58:25 CET 2013 mips
Yes, that is the latest build, but it's not in the router database because it's not deemed to be stable enough. Builds make it into the router database when they are determined to be stable enough.
worked fine after upgrading to the new firmware, thanks all
valkart my setup is as follows
modem/router combo box from isp (192.168.1.254) --> dd-wrt router (192.168.1.253)
make sure any computers connecting via ethernet are in the dd-wrt router not the combo box. make sure to disable dhcp on the dd-wrt BUT configure the default gateway & dns settings on the main config page (both should be the ip of the combo box)
I don't know if I've mentioned this already but I've followed Android Guide 1, and when I pick "Auto" for Device it doesn't show the Wi-Fi driver reload options but when I pick Generic ICS/JB (wlan0) it does.
Also I looked for that mac.info file as well as nvmac.info. Neither of them exist, even when looking in ES File Explorer with the hidden files option checked. It's pissing me off because I can't seem to find ANYONE ELSE who doesn't have that file.
I am on kernel version 2.6.35.7, maybe that might have something to do with it?

My ISP modem have 192.168.1.254 as IP and I access the internet by using PPPoE: username and password of my ISP. Do you mean that I have to use 192.168.1.254 as gateway and dns on dd-wrt config? And the login on the modem, should I configure it on the modem? or let the router do the login? And by last: which build should I use? Thank you.
Oh I should've warned you... I was on my phone writing then and thought I covered everything. Your settings will revert to factory. So it's back to 192.168.10.1 so you'll have to that initial setup again. And be sure to use numbers only as the address because if you use 192.168.10.1/home.htm it won't find it because they change to .asp and it's just easier that way.Thank you for your suggestions Jimbolicious. I used the link you gave me to upgrade the firmware but unfortunately after I installed it using the update button on the repeater's settings. It said the install was complete. I waited for it to restart for a few minutes and it never did. It now isn't broadcasting a signal and won't let me connect to it with the Ethernet cable anymore. I tried a factory reset but that hasn't seemed to help either... Looks like i'm starting from the beginning again
puttygen will generate a keypair for you to use, you paste the public key into the webgui by sshd on the services tab. If you run 21061, that's a bad build and SSHd won't work on it.
Possible? Yes. Likely? No. at least 70% of humanity... knows nothing about networking. The only time you should REALLY worry about people sniffing your network, is in college.
And the guy asking this happens to be in college so this is quite relevant then
Sorry, my idiot was showing.
It's probably a difference in your device, not all of them work the same way. On my Galaxy Note, I also didn't have the .info files, and couldn't get either of the methods listed in the OP to work at all, and even fiddling with the settings of the Tethering app had no positive results.
After a lot of searching around for ways to change the MAC, I found out that using a terminal emulator with BusyBox was the only thing that worked, and even then it was a chore. Then someone linked me to this thread, and the app this guy made works wonders for me, using the BusyBox method.
