tbh translation is not a big problem. Another question, has anyone tested if this chinese firmware is safe?
In case i want to check standard dd-wrt, i need to upload it with winscp and run mtd-write2? Merlin has only linux partition, when dd-wrt has linux and linux2. It won't be a problem?
edit:
Does dd-wrt have live band. monitoring per host out of box like merlin?

On the status page of dd-wrt, you can see live stats of CPU load, nvram usage and other interesting stats. It also contains the bandwidth stats for the LAN, WAN, Wifi 2G and 5G. I believe the graphs were real-time.
To flash a firmware on merlin, you will need to SSH (enable SSH access in settings; Administration -> System) with putty using the following commands or use the Asus restoration utility.
If you are using the Kong builds or Merlin builds, I believe there is just a linux map and not a linux2 path.
Yep the Chinese firmware is quite stable, I've been rocking on X6.6.1 for 4~5 months and before that the beta builds for a year or so. Currently still on X7.1, will have to give X7.2 a try when I've got some free time and when it's reuploaded onto their site. _________________ Linksys EA6400/6300v1 Guide

How it is that there is dedicated dd-wrt for ea6400 but kong build is in some way unificated to STD version? And it's smaller than build from ddwrt ftp.

Safe - Well i thought about backdoors, etc. Is Koolshare trustworthy? For example i dont want to have fragment of a china botnet under my roof
1. For the vlan 10, go to LAN and then the IPTV tab with the settings of the ISP profile to manual, then use the field for Internet: VID 10, PRIO 1, I guess. (My ISP only requires PPPOE, I haven't messed around with these settings)
2. For the option 60, in your WAN settings (in firmware X7.2), there is a field for entering the vendor class. See the image below:
So I've got an EA6300v1 running dd-wrt now, and it looks to be working as expected (for now) in bridge repeater mode.
But I noticed that the "LAN MAC" isn't showing the one that I configured in the cfe (Koolshare version)... In fact it's got the LAN and Wireless LAN (wl0) macs assigned as the same. I've got this in the cfeedit window:
but I'm seeing the C8:D7:19:4D:8D:86 mac in the status window for the "LAN MAC". I also see that the same value is in the nvram lan_hwaddr value somehow, even though the cfe has the 84 address. I just opened the cfe again to check my work, and it's as listed above.
I see this using: DD-WRT v3.0-r30949 std (12/15/16), v3.0-r30965M kongac, as well as the small build used to write the cfe originally.
Is there possibly some quirk causing this discrepancy? Maybe an oddity caused by using the Koolshare instead of the xvortex cfe? I'm a little reluctant to screw around with the cfe if it's not needed or even likely to change things.
I would like to thank everyone behind the tweaks to have dd-wrt installed in our stubborn EA6300v1 routers
I have followed your instructions, and I got my router working smoothly with no problems at all ..
I am a strongVPN subscriber, and unfortunately, they told me that their OpenVPN account have issues with dd-wrt built 30949. They asked me if I can flash my router back to build 28320. I tried to use the GUI for that, but I failed since the router reboots, and keep build 30949 alive.
Is there away, I can downgrade my dd-wrt router to build 28320?!

Sorry if this has been covered in another post on this topic, but I'm trying to find the linksys-ea6400-numinit-super-hacky-smaller-version.bin that's referenced for the Linksys EA6400 instructions from Feb 22, 2016. The link in that post is bad now and I can't find that file.

Seems like it is still working on my GravityNet guide.

Hello, has anyone tried the latest r31221? I did a flash over ssh on both linux and linux2 (coming from r30805), and inadvertently bricked it after reboot.
I'm now getting a flashing green power light (1 per second) but still get a good ping (TTL=100). Try the usual 30/30/30 hard reset and tftp2.exe, tftp client from Windows, 3rd party tftp client but still unable to get responses from the server. (Should I try with the original Linksys FW (.img) or my last known good DD-WRT version (.bin)?)
I browsed thru prior posts in this thread but if anyone can kindly give me some ideas, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
