Hello,

today i got shocked by this new WPA2 crack and was starting to take care off my hardware to look for updates.

Iam a guy - never tough a running system - and iam still on following firmware on my Netgear R7000:

DD-WRT v24-sp2 (06/06/14) kongac
(SVN revision 24200M)

Is there a way to update to the newest firmware to not have to configure everything new? Meaning will my config backup work with newest DD-WRT?


Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.

All the best.

You can sometimes use existing settings and not get errors, but that's over 1-2 releases. You have 3 years of change.

erase and start over would be your best option here. Take a picture of each page w/ your phone and you can re-enter settings pretty quick.

on R7000 you can use direct update via Telnet or SSh and it will preserve your settings just copy paste this line over CLI...

ddup --flash-remote http://desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC-Arm/TEST/dd-wrt.v24-K3_AC_ARM_STD.bin


the other thing is your current build is too old and i believe its not a bad idea to save your settings on a txt file copy paste and erase nvram after the update..and rebuild manually that's what i'd ve do....and i do it from time to time....

ok, many thanks for the help. I am most curiois about my usb / nas settings, but its a good feature to display password as cleartype to make screenshot to better have all together after upgrade.

so best method is todo via ssh/telnet:

ddup --flash-remote http://desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC-Arm/TEST/dd-wrt.v24-K3_AC_ARM_STD.bin

correct? shall better wait for the wpa2 fix to be in, or?

If it were me I'd take the time now to flash a new build now and reconfigure everything - then just flash the next fixed build. The 2nd flash is likely gonna be fine without any reset (I haven't been reseting my R7000 for a long time now).

On a side note, I use a small script I cooked up to restore _ONLY_ the nvram settings I care about (I didn't have time to weed through the other nvram_restore script's thread, so just wrote my own). The router basically can reconfigure itself from scratch as long as there's USB enabled. I'd post it here in case it'd be helpful:

There's a couple assumptions/conditions in the script:
1. a USB drive is mounted on /jffs (there's a line to unmount a /opt too before reboot, but you can take it out).

2. a nvram_data exist at the same level as the script. It contains a number of config .var files your nvram data. An example of that is also attached

That's basically it. Once you've taken the pain to identify and put the nvram variables you care about in the .var files, every reset will be a breeze.
** Most importantly, this leaves all the _other_ nvram variables (potentially those Kong/BS have tweaked) to the default in any given build.

Power-up your R7000 with no cables connected and wait about 3min to fulley boot up then press and hold the reset button and when all the LEDs goes out release the reset button. After it reboots connect your cable and goto 192.168.1.1 (router default address) and you should see the screen to enter a new password and you're good to manually configure your R7000.
