I am been studying the Peacock Thread and Installation Guide and I think that I getting near to flashing my X4S to dd-wrt, but I am wondering which build is better, is BS or Kong's build better?
I see that there are are few issues with the lights not working or wifi speeds may be affected, and according the Peacock Thread it the latest build is not the best idea.

there is no peacock thread here, this is qualcomm atheros section not broadcom, so ignore most of what it says.
kong builds have "additional testing" so just start there i guess, as at least the factory.img file works & httpd (user interface) doesnt crash everywhere like current brainslayer builds... _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S)

Thanks for replying, but WOW! That throws a monkey wrench in my plans! I have been studying the wrong instructions.
I have access to Kong's build for R7800. But now I need to verify the installation instructions so I do not brick my router, can you provide the instructions so I can follow to flash to dd-wrt and upgrade to the latest build?
use the factory img file from stock firmware, that is all. when on ddwrt use webupgrade to downgrade/upgrade ddwrt <--> ddwrt
once ddwrt is installed, view the wifi settings link below in green font
Just one more thing. So do I need to follow the following steps?
Step 1. Use wired connection from laptop or desktop.
Step 2. Reset 30-30-30.
Step 3. Type in the IP address (192.168.1.1) to connect in browser.
Step 4. Go into Administration, Advanced, Administration, Firmware Upgrade, then choose "R7800-factory-to-ddwrt.img" file. Let install
Step 5. Reset 30-30-30. Wait for dd-wrt screen.
Step 6. Login and go to Administration, Advanced, Administration, Firmware Upgrade, then choose "ddwrt-netgear-R7800.bin" file. Let install.
Step 7. Reset 30-30-30. Wait for completion.
Step 8. Login and configure.

Is this the correct steps?
No need for 30/30/30. Just reset to,factory default from with dd-wrt. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.
If I want to return my X4S to factory settings, what are the steps that I need to follow when I use Kong's "dd-wrt-to-netgear-fw-R7800.bin" file?
I have been working with dd-wrt on my X4S and found that my ISP speed is about 100Mbps when I had 250Mbps before the flash. I have worked with the wireless settings and continue to get too many errors coming up and speeds of 50Mbps.
So I want to return to factory settings and reevaluate. I don't want to brick my router.
