I'm debating purchasing an R9000 as I really need to step up to a more robust router #1, but #2... I really want to toss my main power hog pc that's running plex server right now and toss it on the router.

I have googled, and also searched this thread, but didn't see a clear response.

I see DD-WRT is compatible with the R9000, but if I flash it, do I lose the ability to install Plex Media Server on it?


You cannot run Plex on dd-wrt.. Plex capability is something Netgear builds into their firmware because Plex pays them to do so.

You use dd-wrt so you have a secure router.. not to run things that for all you know could be completely nonsecure when used on the router.

Lol, yes I realize that I have used dd-wrt since back when WRT54gs were prevalent. And the reason I asked is because there are PLENTY of daemons you can run on a DD-wrt flashed router. Since the question had not been asked or answered I figured I'd double check.

In addition, ANOTHER reason people use dd-wrt over stock firmware is for stability. I hate factory firmwares because they're typically bloated with crap, and they still require you to reboot them every so often making them unreliable.

I'm trying to kill 2 birds with one stone. But evidently that's not possible. I'm trying to simplify my network closet rather than add additional devices to it. Hence why it would have been great if I could have both DD-WRT and PLEX still installed. I guess I'll wish in one hand and S#!t in the other and see which one fills up first...

Hi, a X10 router will be arriving soon at my home from an ebay seller.

Wondering, what the difference between BrainSlayer's' builds and KONG's builds are of DD-WRT for the R9000.

Thanks in advance.

Edit --
A readme in Kong's site:
Differences between kong and BrainSlayer builds are:

-Builds receive additional testing before upload

-Builds can be upgraded through commandline tool ddup (currently only northstar).
See: ddup --help

-Builds and packages are cryptographically signed in order to verify authenticity

-Builds sometimes contain hotfixes that are not yet included in regular builds until
a universal solution has been developed

-Builds contain a tool called bootstrap that installs a package manager called opkg
in order to install additional features.

----
Good enough for me.. unless I am missing some area with more info on specifics.

@labo

That's strange, This morning I managed to download & successfully install Kong's DD-WRT v3.0.31700 build for the R9000 from here:

http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/K4-AC-ALPINE/


BtW does anyone know how to disable any of the 2.4/5/60 ghz radios on the R9000 when using Kong's build 3.0.31700?

Cheers

This is pretty old test build. Please use the the latest BS build.

Thanks, updated to BS build v31825 and all seems well on my R9000.

Do you know how to switch off any of the 2.4/5/60 ghz radios in DD-WRT?

Under wireless, "Basic Settings" tab: choose the wireless radio-> "Wireless Network Mode " and set it to "Disabled"

For those who have been using it, would you say it's stable to use? I don't need anything advanced such as VLAN's just stable/fast 2.4/5ghz wireless, SFP port, openvpn and DNS.

I've installed dd-wrt before but I really am a bit scared to do so on such an expensive router. But the stock firmware is just so godawful....

i am using Build 31791 which is very stable for me, but I don't use wifi but I do have open vpn! With 31825 I had some problems with the Open VPN connection.
