I'm having trouble when trying to upgrade from DD-WRT 06-08-12-r19342 to 07-20-12-r19519.
Already tried to upgrade using GUI, SSH and TFTP.
Also tried different browsers (FF and IE), cleaning cache and stuff.
Using GUI, sometimes it just says 'update failed' and sometimes it runs all the 300s and nothing happens.
Trough SSH I had no luck too, when I thought I had finally succeeded, the router booted up with no changes at all.
TFTP I was unable to get the right timing (using the ping trick) to put the new firmware.
Tried the above methods with the following files:
dd-wrt.v24-19519_NEWD-2_K2.6_mini-WNDR4000.chk
and
dd-wrt.v24-19519_NEWD-2_K2.6_big-nv64k.bin

If you read into the build thread of 19519, as i have stated in the build thread, the BIG and mega k2.6 builds appear to have outgrown an 8meg flash, which is what this unit has. You'd probably have to use a std-usb-nas nv64k.bin to use with it for now. _________________ Wireless N Config | Linking Routers | DD-WRT Wiki | DD-WRT Builds | Peacock - Broadcom FAQ

Oh crap, I should've thought about this... Thanks anyway...

Hey buddee. I do not see a std_usb_nas-nv64k.bin file. Only std_usb_nas-nv60k.bin and std_usb_nas.bin. Would I just use the std_usb_nas.bin?

Posted: Thu Aug 02, 2012 17:27 Post subject: WNDR3700 or WNDR4000 or both
Greetings folks,
I currently own two Netgear routers (due to me being an ID10T and having a great boss). One is a WNDR3700 v1 which I thought I had completely bricked yesterday, and the other is a brand new WNDR4000 that was purchased to replace the 3700.
After reading some reviews about the 4000, it looks like it's only slightly better than the 3700 in most respects.
My question is, should I return the 4000 since I don't seem to have any "great" features that make it better that the 3700, or keep the 4000 and do something else with the old router?
Current environment and stuff:
2400 sq ft home with two stories (wireless coverage is great in all parts of the house with the 3700 and 4000)
WNDR3700 running DD-WRT v24sp1 (not connected to anything ATM)
WNDR4000 running Netgear firmware V1.0.0.90_9.1.79 (I'm kinda afraid to load the DD-WRT since that's how I semi-bricked the 3700)
ISP > WNDR4000 > wireless clients and 24 port GB switch > Cisco ASA (For work VPN) Work PC (two NIC's; one to ASA and the other to the "home" network)
I have four wired PC's, three laptops, five other wired network devices (DVR, Media/back server, etc)
I use the guest network on the Netgear to give my neighbor internet access, and if any one else wants to use my bandwidth I'm fine with that as long as they are isolated from my internal network.
I have not done it yet, but I want to setup QoS on the network to ensure my internal stuff has priority over the guest network.
Thanks for taking the time to read my long winded post and any advice is appreciated.

No, you can only use nv64k builds with this unit, so if there isn't a std_usb_nas-nv64k bin for this model, then you could only use the mini 64k. Most times, atleast with eko builds (which is what i mostly use on broadcom) i know, there is an nv64k bin for each flavor, with Brainslayer builds it appears that there is not. _________________ Wireless N Config | Linking Routers | DD-WRT Wiki | DD-WRT Builds | Peacock - Broadcom FAQ

IMHO if you can't decide, keep them both.
This is what i have learned about the WNDR3700, if its a v2 its great, because it has 16meg flash, if its a v1 its more limited because although it says 8meg flash, its more like 7.4 or 7.5 because of how netgear programmed their board with this unit (and most of their units). It uses part of the flash rom to store board infos on, that much about it i didn't like, because in dd-wrt - every bit of rom space matters for features included in its builds, so my v2 had more features (better QoS options and few other small services) than the v1 did simply because of the flash space available to it.

I am on dd-wrt.v24-19342_NEWD-2_K2.6_big-nv64k. I am trying to setup a guest network. The config seems fine. I followed several tutorials, however it does not seem to broadcast the public network. None of my devices can see it even though it is set to broadcast.

I can get the 5G guest network to show up, but not 2.4 guest network. However the 5G network can't obtain ip addresses for wireless clients.
I would suggest following this guide, as the youtube one is dated now - which probably worked for the time it was published, and newer builds brought on different settings.
