I have a Netgear R7000 Nighthawk ordered. From my reading it looks like it should work well for my purposes. Hopefully Netgear won't have pre-gimped it before shipping it out (like it appears Asus did with mine), and I'll be able to get dd-wrt on it.
Thank you everybody for the responses on everything!

Hi. New here.
I can install any version of BS for my ac66u including the latest 29440 (dd-wrt-29440-Asus_RT-AC66U_20160411.trx). Followed afterwards by Kong build 25015M-SP1 (Linux 3.10.55-rc1 #84 Mon Oct 6 22:34:21 CEST 2014 mips). This is running well for me, no issues.
I have some Q's,
1. I cannot find any more later version of Kong build for my router. Anyone knows if there is any?
2. I tried using Kong K3-AC-ARM (STD.bin versions) but not lucky enough, it always ends up non responsive state but it will say upgrade successful. Revert using Asus recovery page, and installed back as stated current running Kong build.
3. In Kong build K3-AC-ARM STD.bin versions, it says supported models are Asus RT-AC67U, RT-AC68U, etc. I do not see the AC-66U. I am not aware of AC-67U model. Or am I missing something from here?

The AC66U uses a MIPs CPU so you can't use Kong's ARM build. Kong's supported models file specifically lists the supported models for each build. _________________

Thanks. Understood. Was not aware of that point then. Cheers.
Anyone knows where to get the most recent available Kong K3-AC build for my router?
I just purchased it and found the same situation (followed the wiki, cleared nvram, uploaded the DD-WRT v.29440 firmware, stuck on the recover page). So, just want to make sure, are there any solutions for this problem yet?
Ps. I am new to DD-WRT and did just a little research before purchased it. And, if my English is bad, I am very sorry. I am not a native.

I am in the same boat. Have any of you had any luck after your initial post or did you just all abbandon this router?
Check the CFE version. If you have 1.0.2.x,downgrade to 1.0.1.9
I assume this would be the boot loaded of the 5th generation RT-AC66U? How can this be checked? And how can it be downgraded to install dd-wrt-29440-Asus_RT-AC66U.trx?
