I am aware that it is not broadcom. I just wanted to know if it includes the feature set in "Mega"
Judging from the file size ~7MB I guess it has lots of features. Is there a way to know what is included in the build without flashing my router?

Thanks!
you get the usual stuff available for atheros units basically whats shown here the std version
tried to upgrade from netgear stock (1.0.0.24) to dd-wrt r18777 using the netgear3800-factory.img from the web interface and it doesnt work shows this.
This firmware file is incorrect! Please get the firmware file again and make sure it is the correct firmware for this product.
just flashed DD-WRT v24-sp2 (03/19/12) std - build 18777 on my wndr3800!!!! had abit of trouble haha it seems with 1.0.0.24 u cant update to dd-wrt so i downgraded to 1.0.0.16 then it worked i flashed the wndr3800-factory.bin using the netgear web interface all worked perfectly!! i didnt 30/30/30 reset or anything
ok everything seems to be working fine even wireless! i am using mixed-NG (wpa2 personal aes) on 20mhz (ill try out 40mhz later though i hardly use wireless so i wanna be nice to my neighbours and stay on 20mhz on a channel nobody uses heh)
the only thing so far i see thats wrong is this lol
Router Name
DD-WRT
Router Model
Netgear WNDR3700 v2
lol it says its a 3700 v2 haha, trust me its a 3800! it says so on the box and its red on the front panel! lols i guess thats a easy fix for brainslayer.

According to specs, the WNDR3800 is just a WNDR3700 v2 with 64MB more ram than the 3700 v2, so it showing that its a wndr3700 v2 is no big surprise.
yeah i know but would of been nice to show WNDR3800 also the lights for the lan are the wrong way around shows orange for 1gbit and green for 100mbit hah but yeah its definelly working right just using the wrong colour, damn how i missed the blinking lights w00t!
EDIT: ok apparently the light colours are correct for lan, netgear was wrong lol.

Does r18777 seem stable on the WNDR3800? I'm running OpenWRT atm., but having issues w/5Ghz.
yeah its stable in 2.4ghz but i have 5ghz off since i dont have any devices that can use it. so im not sure about 5ghz. i kept connecting with my android on 2.4 to check if wifi was still working and it worked everytime i try, i hardly use wifi just on my phone i have everything wired gbit.
Very well. I use 5G extensively, so I'll be testing the stability. With four laptops, three smartphones and a couple more devices on the wireless network, one frequency isn't enough
If I don't complain here within a couple of days, it's most likely stable even under rather heavy load.
It appears to be pretty solid, surviving a full windows backup over 5Ghz.
One weird thing was that the bandwidth graphs didn't show any traffic while backing up from a wireless to a wired box.
Also; is it possible to control the leds like in OpenWRT?

thats good its stable in 5ghz, i have also recently noticed the wireless graphs dont work but the lan and wan ones do. umm im not sure about the leds and ive never used OpenWRT, hopefuly someone else can answer.
