Hi. I recently flashed DD-WRT v3.0-r33435M (10/08/17) on my Netgear R6900P router using the guide at the bottom of this post. It works well, but there's no 5Ghz available. Only 2.4Ghz (see attachment). I already tried resetting dd-wrt to the factory defaults and it didn't work. Does anyone have any other suggestions? This is my 1st time flashing a router and I'm a bit of a noob
The r6900p is not the same as the r6900. Likely ruined your router.
It's not advised to do it but you should have used the boardid of the r7000p and tried the firmware kong released for the r7000p. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.

Thank for the response. Can I still try doing that or should I just flash the stock and return it back to Costco?
You should try to convert it back to the boardid for the r6900p and flash the netgear firmware for it to see if the 5ghz comes back. If it does, try this build http://desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC-Arm/dd-wrt.K3_R7000P.chk _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.
