Hmmmm I had to try out the firmware on my Linksys E3200 to see what it was like and it's looking good but I have tried to go back to the old stock firmware and it won't let me. Any ideas on how to get it back to stock?

"it won't let me".. Interesting but you really need to provide a bit more detail..
exactly what version of dd-wrt did you flash?
What stock firmware are you trying to flash back to. They (linksys) just posted a firmware update. Possibly the newer stock firmware is giving you the problem.
However, it is only speculation till you post exactly what "it won't let me" means..
If it turns out that the problem is not on your pc (browser cache, clear cookies, av & firewall software, etc) I will follow your steps in regards to what you have flashed. If I get the same results, I'll figure out what changes need to be made to the header of the stock firmware to allow you to flash back to stock. _________________ [Moderator Deleted]

Loaded the firmware, the regular change password dialog box didn't appear after reboot. Any clues? Presents a linksys looking login dialog box....Update the damn reset button is on the bottom. I wonder how it's working but after a real 30/30/30 reset I got the change password dialog box. So All good.
Hi! I'm trying to move to the test build of dd-wrt for my new 3200, but I'm obviously doing something wrong. I'm simply trying to upload the dd-wrt firmware through the standard Linksys interface. It takes it, runs through the upgrade and says it's about to reboot and that it will take up to 65 second. I wait it out (over 2 minutes) and then hit 'Continue' and at that point I'm prompted for a password and it takes me right back to the Linksys setup page.
I've tried to find a tutorial or a wiki on the 3200, but I haven't found anything so far. Apologies if the info I need is already listed somewhere obvious.
EDIT: Fixed it. Looked up the instructions for the 4200 and followed those. Turns out that when it says '65 seconds' it should say '5 minutes'.
Unlikely since linksys not forthcoming with the 5ghz driver.
Development on ddwrt itself is now more concerned with commercial area.
There are major bugs that have remained since development on the v24 started about two years ago.
This shows no signs of changing rather its getting worse by the looks of things.
Serious open source development is only really happening with the tomato firmware now and a couple of others.
The creator of tomato hasn't done anything in some time but others have taken up the firmware and run with it.
Is the 2.4ghz-only dd-wrt firmware any good? I'd almost rather just have a G-band and better frequencies and range then have the 5ghz.
Just to reiterate, I'm having serious performance issues with my model (I'm talking like 40 feet away, one floor down and getting virtually no speed, despite my phone/ps3/laptop saying the signal is decent) and I'm hoping that it can be fixed with dd-wrt.
