With this unit having NAND flash, it is doubtful that the devs are porting for this unit currently - they'd need a unit on their desk, should you be willing to donate one of these units to the dd-wrt devs, i'm fairly sure it'll speed up the porting process for dd-wrt. _________________ Wireless N Config | Linking Routers | DD-WRT Wiki | DD-WRT Builds | Peacock - Broadcom FAQ

porting of WNDR4300 is done now. i will upload it in some minutes here. since WNDR4300 is identical to the WNDR3700v4 except for a different 5 ghz wireless card, just the WNDR3700v4 was required which i got 2 days ago _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?

and here is it. flash it with netgears web interface or tftp recovery. since you can recovery the device with tftp at any time (if the image is broken, tftp turns on automaticly, or simply use the reset button at power on for turning on recovery) its safe todo any experiment with it. you can debrick it without any serial at any time.
MOD Edit: You must be logged onto the forum first to see the attached files. So log into the forum first, then access this thread for the test build. _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?

Thanks Malachi !!!
I could successfully install the DD-WRT firmware from BrainSlayer.
A question about setting up VPN connection to a VPN Provider like HMA or GoldenFrog.
Which tab of the interface do you use because I see VPN in 2 different tabs:
- 1st in Setup > Basic setup > WAN Connection Type
- 2nd: Services > VPN > PPTP Client
What is the difference?
Which one to use?

Please, JFBO. Can you report how your router/network works after a couple of days of testing? I'm honestly interested in purchasing this device but I would like to know something more about it. If you can provide some information, it would be awesome!

simply use the wan page. the other pptp client is for manual special configurations. it was made a long time ago and is still there for historical reasons. so simply use the wan pptp options and all should be fine _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?

small update: solves cpu load problem
use the .bin file for direct dd-wrt upgrade. the img file is for dlink factory to dd-wrt upgrades (or tftp recovery) _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking? Sounds like a Mac to me.." - Louis Rossmann https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL_5YDRWqGE&t=60s

Hi, which of the files above should I use? Sorry, I'm not clear on the difference between a direct dd-wrt upgrade and a dlink factory to dd-wrt upgrade? I'm very new at this.
