So my buffalo whr-300hp doesn't seem to be in any lists. But it came with V24SP2 Build 19438 of dd-wrt stock out of the box.... How do I get new firmware for this? The built in option to update doesn't work. I can't find my model in the compatibility lists... I'm just sort of stuck. I realize this is router specific, but I have no reference for the model's nic to work with so hopefully someone here can help....
Im just having a ton of issues with xbox live NETFLIX and torrents. Netflix on xbox live drops and says you need gold for no reason and torrents will actually blow up the router and cause a hard reset to be needed. Both with Upnp on or off and even putting things in the DMZ just for testing. So basically I would like to update the firmware from my current version of V24SP2 build 19438....

this is a re-branded whr-hp-g300n basically. but it is too new to have gotten community dd-wrt support as of yet, you could try the whr-hp-g300n image - but it is doubtful that it will work, as the other buffalo unit re-brands had to have specific images compiled for it in order to have community dd-wrt support.
