I am running 23900M. Is a 30/30/30 reset required to upgrade to 25015?

Thanks Malachi

@digitard: Thank you for your hint!

@shanester: a 30/30/30 should not be necessary, but you should make a restart before performing the update

I made an update yesterday from 24200... everythings fine. Running smooth and well =)

@Kong: the Status -> Sys-Info tab is linked to Setup -> Basic Setup, is this a feature or a bug? This I have recognized in previous releases too... (I had to check this first and therefor I include this question by editing)

I just performed a dirty flash from 24200 OLD. The new firmware took, and the unit rebooted with all of my settings intact. I'll leave it alone for a few days and report back if there were any issues.

EDIT:
So far,
Time Zone defaulted to "Europe."
Wireless Channel defaulted to "Auto."

I just bought a used wndr4500. I flashed the kong initial .chk file and the router is in a boot loop.
Serial log says kernel panic. I can tftpd the oem firmware on it but I'd like to put dd-wrt on it.
I suspect at some point it must have had tagathas fw on it.
I've looked back through the tread but can't figure out how to get it working with dd-wrt.

adrien1977 posted in may this year, that he had problems flashing the initial .chk from Kong for the WNDR4500 V1.

He wrote that he was able to flash the initial build from http://www.myopenrouter.com/download/list?cat=82 and afterwards he could flash Kong builds.

Kongs initial builds haven't been updated since this time. Maybe this will help you too.

Strange behaviour with pptp-passthrough on last kong-ac buid (25015). If I try to establish connection to another router on 25015 - it doesn't work:

Couldn't figure out how to do it. In pm's with Kong, he said it can't be done.

[freddieyk]

[Malachi]

Idk. He is the pro.

[meistadieb]

[Malachi]

I pmed him my serial log on stock and when trying to flash his builds and tagathas.
He said to stay on stock.
