Kong, I just downloaded and flashed the latest firmware you posted today to my AC1450. The previous non-beta worked fine, but this one, I can't ssh or telnet into the router and neither can I connect to the Web Interface. Do I need to reboot it manually at the device?
My LAN and WAN are working fine as far as I can tell, but I can't access those things after the flash.

As an update. I hard reset the router and the newer firmware was up but of course all my settings were gone. I restored my backup settings, and that all worked, but I could not connect to anything outside of my router (so including internet). I couldn't figure out the problem, so I flashed the previous stable firmware from 070714 and now the internet is working again.

Just to show how mileage can vary. I also installed the latest and greatest 24710M and its working OK on my R6300v2. Minor problems encountered included the need to power down and back up to complete the install. It did not reboot on its own nor would it reboot using the reboot button in Administration. After it completed the boot the only other problem was that the USB drive did not mount. Unplugging the USB cable and plugging it back solved that issue. All seems OK in the first hour of up time.

There are quite a few changes in the new build, thus you should not restore a save config. I have to add this note in the changelog. _________________ KONG PB's: http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/

Okay I somehow forgot to mention the fact that I have not been able to gain a shell on the device. I've tried the telnetenable magic trick but I got a 10057 error or something similar...
So the fact that I don't have the means to serial into it at this time. I was hoping to attempt a solution by simply adding/modifying the firmware "supported list" to satisfy or otherwise trick the router into taking the firmware...
I'm sure charter is good for delivery of at least 2 probably 3 "warranty" units before they start to raise an eyebrow...
Did you have any luck in getting a firmware uploaded onto the Charter R6300v2? Having no luck here thus far.

Okay so I'm having a weird issue. I have a Netgear AC1450. I flashed dd-wrt.K3_AC1450.chk (from http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC-Arm/Initial/) through the Netgear firmware update interface. Then once dd-wrt was running I flashed
dd-wrt.v24-K3_AC_ARM_STD_NEWD.bin (from http://desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC-Arm/24710M/). And without modifying any settings I cannot get my wired internet speeds above 3mb/s download when they are usually about 90mb/s download. Any ideas?
*edit* how do you remnove DD-WRT and revert back to stock firmware? I have stock firmware downloaded from neatgear and have sucesfully telneted into dd-wrt but dont know where to go from here. Thanks in advance.

This is from Kong's readme, which is meant to be read:
Flashing back to Netgear Firmware is supported. Just use the dd-wrt webinterface and upload netgear firmware. Since netgear is now using the same password var as dd-wrt you have to reset the router after you flashed back to netgear firmware, otherwise the netgear webif will not accept the default password. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.

Thanks for the sarcastic tip on the readme's but that was actually the first thing I tried and the upgrade failed- sorry for leaving that out of my original post.
You are welcome. I do sarcasm well.
Did you try a different browser? Cleared your browsers cache? _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.
I just remembered something. I had an r6250 that I flashed with dd-wrt.
When trying to revert to netgear fw, I ran into the same problem.
Searching led me to a post at myopenrouter, a user had the same problem. He solved it by using an older netgear firmware.
I tried the two most recent netgear firmware and both failed. Then the third oldest worked. Try that. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.

Haha sorry I didn't mean to sound like an ass if I did. Thanks for the extra suggestions. Just to make sure I wasn't crazy and went back and did what you said/what the readme said to do again, except this time the upgrade failed and the router would not boot at all, stuck on the infamous flashing green light. So I hooked it up directly to my pc and did the "tftp -i 192.168.1.1 PUT firmware.chk" and then immediately reset the router and all seems to be working well again. Thanks again for taking the time to help.
Wondering if in the Access Restrictions Menu, there could be some... mode or something that the admin could WHITE LIST websites instead of Blacklisting them, and also on a per MAC Address basis... ??
