Hello Guys,

Do I still need the rs232 cable to flash it? Or, I can just flash it from it's web use the file from there:

Thanks!

Don't use the dd-wrt router damn database to get firmware.
AND don't use a dd-wrt public release factory-to-ddwrt.img for first install on a EA8500 ... no matter
what linksys firmware you have
--- won't work, won't boot, it's messed up bad last time I checked.

Always do first flash with a Kong build.
I suggest EA8500WW-factory-to-ddwrt.img from here if you have a EU EA8500 router
http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC-IPQ806X/r31240/

After you get dd-wrt on it you can install whater EA8500 .bin firmware you want --- new one works okeydokey

Actually I tested that very build they have in the dd-wrt damndatabase.

There is a 90+% chance if you have a US EA8500 it will already have later firmware --- so yea get you a USB/TTL

EDIT:
for future ref --- get your firmware here

Good ideal to do some research first if not familiar with dd-wrt firmware Cool


try poke brainslayer about finally fixing ipq806x .img before he vanishes again, r7800's is broken too

EA8500
DD-WRT v3.0-r33525M kongat (10/16/17)

Looks veddy berry good

unbound still don't work in the K builds ... guess that's why he didn't bother to update to its new version Razz

Is "unbound" related to QoS? I'm guessing if I don't use that I should be good? My PC is the only device on my network that's capable of completely exhausting my 100mbps connection, so I just use netlimiter if I want to download something while someone is watching TV/on the phone Neutral

unbound = Recursive DNS Resolving, an option on main setup page. You can do 'about' same thing using DNSMasq
options but 'about' same is not the same and I refuse to budge ... besides it works fine in all public dd-wrt releases.


So, No it shouldn't be any worry to you ... carry on Cool
Kong's r33525M is a good build.
Also includes new 'airtime fairness' option in the advanced wireless settings.

EA8500
DD-WRT v3.0-r33529 std (10/17/17)
Linux 3.18.75 #185 SMP PREEMPT Fri Oct 13 01:06:35 CEST 2017 armv7l
No Reset
everything I use is ok --
ovpn server good
samba good
new unbound 1.6.7 Cool
all newest patches are here
Note:
had to enable airtime fairness for the old droid turbo to have his decent speed on 5GHz

get it if you want it -- I suspect BS & the boys will release new build soon anyways
attached is r33529 dd-wrt-webupgrade.bin for EA8500 only

I just setup ovpn client on the test EA8500 connected to a dd-wrt router across the way.
Works just fine here .... about a 3 minute setup and it's all good.

Strange. I always reset to default settings when I upgrade. I wonder if that made a difference with mine vs. yours?
