    Hello, I installed the OpenWrt version 22.03.2 r19803-9a599fee93 on my WRT3200ACM router
    but I have problems with the power leds, internet and wifi signals 2.4 and 5
    they are always off. Do you know how I can solve it?

      comments acting strange, had typed out a lot that was helpful, so I'll just summarize to say that to make sure you have the right version (for WRT3200ACM and not WRT32XX), I strongly recommend the stable versions, As the candidate versions can be intense as your living on edge there i.e, things possibly being broken or a headache. Lastly, unless you have to upgrade because you want to save packages and configurations, you should really use a factory image and do a clean install in my opinion. Just make sure to do the dual-boot thing on the router so that it boots the previous, working firmware first so that you can replace the one that doesn't as whatever firmware your using when you do an install, it overwrites the other firmware partition, not the one your using at that time and then it switches to that one. The factory file should be called openwrt-22.03.2-mvebu-cortexa9-linksys_wrt3200acm-squashfs-factory.img (at the time of writing), so make sure your getting the right one and do a hash check to know the downloaded file is complete and not bugged somehow with a missing bit or whatever (the hashes won't match on the website if the file isn't the exact same). Finally, firmware can be tricky and it can possibly do crazy things to your device, like blow it up, so always proceed with caution and take care!

    This isn't a very good video. It's supposed to be instructional, but you don't go over any of the things that need to be set for the WRT3200 - you just say things like "it's router dependent" (because you didn't read the TOH notes). You could have, at the very least, gone over the critical notes from the OpenWRT TOH page for the WRT3200 - they're so important to make this router work reliably. Also, small quibble, but the chronic mispronunciation of both OpenWRT and Linksys don't really add to the legitimacy of the content.
