So if I want to flash from DD-WRT (let say for the WNDR4300) to the 4300 stock firmware, do I just download the firmware from netgear and flash it? Or is there a method that I have to do before I can do that? any help would be appreciated.
Not sure. It is similar to the wndr3700 and wndr3800, I would use the method used on those to revert to stock fw. Follow this guide except use the fw for your router. http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=79802
I downloaded and used tftp.exe insted of using the client in windows.
Ok so I got the DD-WRT installed perfectly for my Netgear WNDR4300 router. But I just couldn't find the wireless signal booster (TX power) anywhere in the interface. I checked other ppl videos on youtube and they showed it in the Wireless tab.

Thanks Brainslayer!
Everything worked like a charm
I've just a couple of question about the hardware. Maybe not the right topic.
Is it possible to connect a USB hub and connect multiple USB devices?
There is 128MB NAND flash. How can use all the storage as JFFS or otherwise? If I run the df command only 18 MB is allocated. Is it possible to mount the remaining 110MB?

I had a problem with the NetGear Genie app frequently reporting 'Internet Disconnected' ( Build 21153 and previous ).
I finally fixed this by setting both radios to Turbo, Wireless N only, and fixed channels. IOW - no 'Automatic' selections.
I think it might have been a channel hopping problem, but I'm not sure.
FWIW - I use bluetooth, so I set most of my devices to prefer the 5ghz channel. My Canon printer only has 2.4, so I had to leave that radio on. The bluetooth speaker dropouts dissappeared.
Hi,
I just got a WNDR4300 and was running the March 25 build r21061 on it for a week without any issues. Then one day I couldn't connect to the internet and eventually figured out there was an issue with the router. Directly connecting the modem to the computer or modem to a different router receives internet just fine.
I have tried reinstalling the same build and also the newest April 15 build on it with no difference. I have restored default settings, 30/30/30 reset, and reset modem + router many times with no change. I do notice that the LAN and wifi lights blink green but I believe they should be solid green which I find weird. The internet light shows solid green.
I reflashed with the Netgear firmware and the router works fine. Please let me know what you think could be wrong or what I can check for a solution. Thank you!
Just a thought - maybe a neighbor has set up a router and is interfering with your channel selection - which is different than the one you're using with the factory firmware? Try using something like inSSIDer to see what's going on around you - and to verify that the router radios are on.
Do You have the problem with both 2.4G and 5G? Dump 2.4G if you can. Use "N" only if you can.
